I hate to try to describe myself so I will instead provide a few nuggets: When I get bored while at work, I sneak and throw things at people and then run and hide. I once fractured a rib from coughing too hard. Jellyfish LOVE me. I'm sort of an exhibitionist. I've never eaten meat. I once climbed through a bat cave where indigenous Dominicans once lived and I fell and rolled through bat poo. That was fun. I used to be really good at calculus. I eat a lot- probably more than you. One time when my dad’s friend was visiting, he fell asleep on the couch and I polished his nails with red polish while he was sleeping. My dad sat back and watched. The guy didn’t notice it until he got pulled over by the cops on his way home. I’m a bit clumsy- I’ve fallen down in the office for no reason twice. I once ate a durian- YUCKINESS!

I'm quite shy around people I don't know well. I'm very caring, outspoken, and assertive. I know myself and I know what I want. I'm difficult to figure out. I'm sometimes super quiet and I sometimes have a motor mouth. I absolutely adore my nieces and nephews. I'm small but feisty. I subconsciously show my feelings and thoughts through my facial expressions, except no one can ever seem to interpret them. I admire hard work and determination. I'm sometimes mischievous and my sense of humor can be a bit on the lewd side. My pet peeves are rude people, dumb questions and people who make smacking sounds when they eat. My all time favorites are eating yummy food, traveling, and beautiful beaches and landscapes. I rarely get embarrassed, and I'm not secretive- I tell it all (probably a bit too self-disclosing).

My passion is helping people and trying to make the world a better place, so I work in international development. More specifically, I work in international public health (health systems strengthening) at a consulting firm. What I love most about it is that the work takes me to many different countries and when possible I like to try to tack vacations onto business trips in order to make the most of my work trips. I try to experience a lot of different things because when I get old and wrinkly I want to be able to reflect and reminisce and tell my grandkids some amazing stories. I am trying to make sure that I do not have any regrets.

I say interrogating people. My friend just told me that I'm also good at saying what's on my f'ing mind.

I don't know. I had originally wrote my smile but my friend says to change it to how f'ing short I am.

Some of my favorites: Music: Michael Jackson, Sade, Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae, Lykke Li, Thievery Corporation, Krishna Das, TV/movies: Dexter, Law & Order, The Bourne Identity, Drive. Books: The Bible, The Qur'an, Baghavad Gita, Everything is Illuminated, Autobiography of Malcolm X. Food: Chipotle, Indian and Ethiopian food. Misc: Christmas socks, shopping for underwear, and that feeling right after a good shower/bath.

1. Love (from friends, family or whomever)

4. Me time

What I could have done better

Varies. Don't think I have a typical Friday night. Sometime I go out of town (e.g. Minneapolis, Philly, NY) to visit friends/family. Sometimes I'm 30,000 feet high in the sky on a plane next to some guy who doesn't wear deodorant. Sometimes I go to jazz in the sculpture garden or out for drinks. And somestimes I go home and have some me time.

I'm willing to admit to just about anything if the subject comes up in a conversation. I'm very self-disclosing.

If you're cute and you're hungry and have great hair - that's a good combination. Definitely message me if you want to teach me to dance salsa.
