I am a 24 year old female who loves life and meeting new people. I am a harder worker but I play hard, too.

Although I am very organized and like structure in my life, I can also let loose and have a fun time. I am very open-minded and have many liberal beliefs.

I attend a Unitarian Universalist Church. I am currently on a spiritual journey hoping to find fellowship with open-minded people and a place to grow and learn mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

My hobbies and things I enjoy include music, dance, working out (Zumba, pole dancing, and yoga), spending time with friends and family, camping, meeting new people, deep conversations, meditation, education, self discovery.

I graduated in December 2011 with an Early Childhood/Special Education degree. I am currently a permanent substitute teacher for an agency that provides services to kids with emotional/behavioral disorders. I also work a social group for kids with Autism.

My goal is to continue my career in the Special Education/Mental Health field. I am considering to go for my masters in Social Work so I can do therapy, but I haven't totally decided yet.

I moved into my own place about a year ago. It's my first apartment living on my own. It's just me and my kitty and I am loving it!

I enjoy dance. It's my favorite hobby and I've been doing it all my life. I am a good listener, a loyal friend, and a neat freak. I am also great with kids (particularly working with kids with disabilities).

I am very open-minded and fun to be around. I love to laugh and make people laugh. It's easy to see that I have a big heart and I am very passionate.

I listen to all types of music including reggae, pop, rock, country, indie, alternative, drum & bass/trance, rap, hip-hop, and pretty much anything. I love live music. Going to concerts is always a blast!

Movie genres I enjoy are comedies, romantic comedies, dramas, documentaries, musicals (particularly Disney), and some action.

I went through a phase where I didn't read as much as I wish I had time for, but my New Years resolution was to read a little bit each night and I was doing pretty well for a while. I need to get back into it. Some of my favorite books include: 1984, The Vagina Monologues, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I Am the Cheese, Look Me in the Eyes (I love stories involving people with Autism and other mental health disorders).

I will eat just about anything (or at least try it once). I try my best to eat healthy and I do love fruits and veggies. Some of my favorite foods are Mexican, seafood, pierogies, pasta, anything with cheese, spicy food (I can put creole seasoning or hot sauce on anything as long as it doesn't ruin the flavor)....I love food :)

I constantly make lists in my head of things I need to do in my busy schedule. It's how I stay organized and on top of things. When I do have time to relax a bit I enjoy reflecting on life and do some meditation. I also think about the things I'd like to experience before I die....like skydiving, traveling the world, having a successful career, having a family of my own...

Usually on the weekends I like to go out with my friends for a few drinks/go dancing. Or sometimes we stay in for a game night. I also love seeing live music and going to concerts.

I am very open for the most part. If you ask me about it I probably won't be too shy to answer. I can't think of anything in particular to put on here...

I am interested in meeting someone who is open, honest, positive, funny, ambitious, hard working, and intellectual. And when I say intellectual, I don't mean a genius. I mean someone who can hold a meaningful conversation with depth. I like guys who share my desire for personal growth. I want to be with someone who can put up with my silliness and make me laugh, making me feel comfortable with being myself.
