I was born and raised in Queens, NY with two sisters. We had a fun childhood on the block with lots of other kids, lots of sports and games. I got in a lot of trouble as a teenager, especially hopping the subways. Left home, got educated, studied the sciences, looked at a lot of art, met people outside my ethnicity and culture, traveled (or travelled). Now I am enjoying my life in this great city, so different than when I was a kid. It is incredible the sophistication and complexity of our modern times.

My career is in one of the top museums of NYC. I love it. I work with a diverse and creative staff making a positive impact on society through cutting edge exhibit design and fabrication.

I also research and teach endangered NA languages among native communities. (I cannot even list native languages in the adjacent My Details)

I spend a good amount of time in fitness training, or visiting museums and galleries.

When I can, I enjoy seeing dance performances.

A lot of walking and observing.

How to avoid all you who are drowning in the vat of popular but boring sludge you think is living.

you know, doing cool stuff.

I would love a nonconforming woman to ask me out.

you have an open heart and free spirit, you are easy going,

you want to spend a little time with me over coffee (or a cocktail) and have a little fun. If we have real chemistry lets go out and have a blast together.
