If you get to know me, you'll find that I am a dork with a wicked sense of humor. You’ll also quickly discover that I am upfront, honest and always ready to listen. I try to lead a balanced life. I work hard at my job, but I also work hard at relaxing. I’m always up for doing something random, but I also fully support a good night of sloth.

I spend most of my leisure time baking, exploring the outdoors, or chilling in a hammock. I love making and sharing food with friends. I guess it's because I love that food brings people together and I love to experiment. I also love the great outdoors, camping, seeing new sights, and doing a little photography. If I’m not baking or outdoors, I’m probably reading in my hammock, especially on a warm day with a cool breeze.

My favorite things to do around the city include hanging out at anyplace with $1 PBRs, checking out the botanic gardens, biking around Forest Park, and going to a farmers market.

The three things that I am most thankful for are my friends - being able to share my life with others through thick and thin makes it all worthwhile, my humor - being able to laugh at life makes everything entertaining, and my education - understanding makes life more interesting.

I’m looking for a serious relationship with someone who is easygoing and loves to laugh.

Currently making my way through grad school.
