I'm a California girl with a soft spot for the east coast. After 18 years in the Bay Area, I took off for New England for college and law school, and have been back in San Francisco ever since with no intention of parting with this city again.

I really like my lawyer job and work a fair amount, but I strive for balance and find time for the people and things that are important to me - family, friends, the Giants, Tahoe, etc. I feel pretty blessed to be living the life that I'm living. I love to meet new people and catch up with old friends. A good pun, silly joke, or sarcastic comment will make me a happy girl (think Judd Apatow for my sense of humor). I can be sassy (in a lighthearted way :), but also know when it's better to shut up and listen.

My interests are varied - I love sports and high heels, Tupac and Taylor Swift, Miami and the big Redwoods. Variety is the spice.

I'm a litigation associate at a big law firm. The plan is to stay in San Francisco, keep being a lawyer, keep hanging out, etc.

remembering music lyrics, making easy mac, probably some other things. I'm terrible at telling stories but good at getting people to laugh (generally at me).

smile? I do that a lot.

what the Kardashians are doing. Kidding, but when I'm not thinking about work, I'm often trying to quiet my mind.

happy hour to dinner to going out. Or getting in a car to Tahoe.

you are positive, intelligent, have a good sense of humor, and care about people.
