I was born and raised in the Greater Cleveland area and remain fiercely loyal to my home town/state.

I'm shy. Like, stupidly, ridiculously shy.

My favorite thing about the place I live is that it is very geographically close to the city. I like being able to take the train in to Tower City and then walking to wherever I'm going (usually Progressive Field).

Things I am not: a small-talker. That is not my forte. It's a necessary evil, but I haven't navigated how to engage in small talk that quickly falls apart and then it's uncomfortable, awkward silence.

Professionally, I am employed as an elementary music teacher; personally, I'm taking things as they come and trying to live in the moment. I go to church (UCC), read, listen to podcasts (mostly of the true crime sort and adjacent topics, but also some just silly comedic podcasts), and occasionally knit scarves. Recently I joined a regional semi-professional chorus, that I enjoy singing in very much.

As an extension of my faith and left-leaning morals
