I want a life that's a quarter adventures, a quarter debating interesting (and sometimes mindless) topics, and a half just being silly. I love dancing, playing board games (I've been known to get the teensiest bit too competitive), and spending time outdoors. I like going out, but I also love hanging out at home, drinking wine, and just chatting or watching a good movie. I’ve been living in Boston for a year and a half now and still feel like I haven't seen nearly enough of the city, so if you're into exploring that's a big plus.

I’m doing a joint degree program in law and public policy. I’m probably one of the few people who actually likes law school. I’m not sure exactly what I want to do in the long run, but probably something either with education law or civil rights. Before moving to Boston I taught middle school English for two years in D.C. (love me some sassy middle schoolers).

Cooking (home made gnocchi and pad thai are my specialties), skiing, charades, getting good parking spots (I have amazing parking karma), crafts of all sorts, horrible puns.

Maybe that I wear a lot of bright colors?

How to save the world and what I’m going to eat for dinner.

Dinner with friends, a good bottle of wine, and maybe some dancing.

You're quirky and a bit of a nerd. You love life, but don't take it too seriously. You think we could have fun and laugh together.

Or you have a dog.
