My friends describe me as sweet and quiet and I smile - a lot. I am passionate about arts & culture (I minored in art in college), traveling the world, health & fitness, continual learning, and the 'little' things (chocolate chip cookies, a beautiful summer day, kittens, hugs, beach days).

I'm originally from the North East, and I moved to the Bay Area about three years ago for a job, which I love.

I enjoy lots of different activities so there are an endless variety of fun experiences that we can share: chillin at local coffee shop, hiking some of the amazing trails in the area, going to sporting events (recently went to my 1st Niners game), checking out new restaurants, biking the Golden Gate Bridge. I'll try just about anything once!

If you're looking for someone who likes to laugh and to try new experiences, I just may be the girl for you.

I am a scientist and I test materials for technology companies in the Bay Area (tests similar to the lab-geeks on CSI).

you are looking for someone to check out the area with. I'm looking for someone with a good sense of humor, who is adventurous and open-minded. I hope that you enjoy traveling, especially to sunny/beach locations. No smokers, please!
