At my best, I strive to be
nurturing, open-minded, and
intentional-always growing and
learning, while embracing
creativity and authentic
connection. I aspire to build
meaningful relationships that
are greater than the sum of
their parts, bringing warmth
and a little bit of quirky
charm to everything I do.

Previously I saw avoidant
behavior as a character flaw.
Recently, I've come to realize
that it is a signal that I'm
in an unsafe place, trying to
escape. Now, I honor it as a
message guiding me toward
healing, healthier boundaries,
and safer connections .

I strive to model open-mindedness, critical
thinking, and empathy. Each
time I' ve questioned a
narrative-be it a conspiracy
or something "everyone knows"
I've come away valuing
authentic evidence, nuanced
perspectives, and the courage
to reimagine what's possible.
Ultimately, these moments have made me more intentional, resilient, and creative in every aspect of my life.

I am me

My ideal match is communicative and self-aware, able to discuss desires and boundaries with honesty and warmth. I value a curious and energetic partner who brings passion to both adventure and everyday moments—whether that’s trying something new or enjoying quiet time together. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone dependable: emotionally present, consistent, and deeply respectful of the trust we build.

I’m looking for a secure, deeply connected partnership built on open communication, mutual growth, and authentic warmth. Someone who values both adventure and quiet comfort—where we can challenge each other kindly, embrace our quirks, and always feel at home together.

I love teaching. I knew I found my passion when I caught myself staying after the bell hanging out with other teachers b-sing.
I love fostering curiosity and helping others discover their strengths. The best part is those ah-ha! when a concept clicks, and the genuine connections built along the way. It’s creative, meaningful, and endlessly inspiring.
