Two parts country girl, one part city slicker, with a splash of sassy attitude, and a hint of badass - shaken not stirred.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma and moved here 7 years ago. I am enthusiastic, confident and sincere. I've invested most of my time in my career and love what I do. I have a lot of energy and travel a lot, so I am a busy gal. But there are days when I crash and want to spend half the day watching TV with some good takeout food. Yet, the city is filled with so many adventures, how will I ever experience them all? I would really like to have a guy with whom I could share them.

I'm definitely an extravert. I am energized by social situations and meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. My degrees are in Spanish and Public Relations which led to my interest in exploring the world. I lived in Spain, Guatemala and Honduras for short periods of time and have returned a few times for vacation.

I'm interested in everything and perfect at nothing. A sports lover, animal lover, arts lover, fun lover, and love lover

I live in Hoboken, NJ, but it seems I spend most of my time in NYC. I work in publishing as a Senior Marketing Manager. I've worked really hard for my title, so I use it when possible. Outside of work, I like to try different activities that are somewhat fitness related. Some of my favorites have been Bollywood dancing classes, Warrior Boot Camp sessions, and a Core Fusion series. I completed my newest challenge to run a half-marathon in Las Vegas in December, 2011.

But don't be deceived, I'm not a workout junkie. On the weekends, I spend my time watching college football (Oklahoma Sooners, specifically), taking my dog to the park, enjoying a long brunch, and doing something new and interesting. I love to grill on my deck (it's the southerner in me) which is a perk of living in Hoboken - outdoor space!

I like it hot! So for fun, I can be found somewhere near the sun and sand. Recent vacation destinations include Hawaii, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, France, Puerto Rico, and Miami (so easy to get there for a long weekend).

how to improve learning outcomes for under-prepared college students (seriously), starting my own business, vacation destinations, the playlists I create for my weekly long run

There is no typical Friday night in my world. I prefer to do something low key, but can be convinced otherwise. I go out on the week days more often than I do on a Friday. I am a morning person, so I wake up early on Saturday to take full advantage of the weekends.

I'm more dynamic in person than on paper. These survey questions are a little awkward.

... you are mature, drama free, fun-loving, a people person, know how to plan a date, always interested in learning, enjoy independent women, not affraid to get on the dance floor, love live music in a lounge and a great cocktail, don't mind if a gal yells at the TV when watching football.
