ABOUT ME

i love to be outside, to be active, to have a lot on my plate. i like to meet new people, go to new places, have adventures, balance a million projects at once. easily found on a bike or in a garden with a coffee in hand, avoiding my coursework in favor of cooking some elaborate cardamom cheesecake or naan from scratch. a big fan of dogs, weekend camping or climbing trips, and changing my life plan every week or so.

the san francisco bay area is my heart's home, but currently i'm living temporarily on the east coast before departing on some adventure or another. eventually i'd like to come back to california and try out medical school, but as i said above, my life plan changes every week or so ;-P

right now i live on the new jersey shore. if something possesses you to want to have coffee or a guide or whatever, get in touch. i'd be especially happy if you speak german or russian or want to ride bikes!
