About Me

I love to travel....

I have visited 6 continents and one of my favorite experiences was seeing gorillas in the wild in Rwanda in Africa.

Happy Places

Museums and art galleries are my happy places. In San Francisco, I love the Exploratorium which has science, technology, and art exhibits, with experiments available for kids.

Favorite Music

I played the flute in school bands for seven years and enjoy going to concerts, ballets and music festivals. I like all kind of music, but my favorite artist is Beyonce.

Favorite Food

Pizza is one of my favorite foods and sometimes I will make my own from scratch. In the past, I've invited friends over to make pizza together. My sister has helped me improve my dough for the crust.

Favorite Holiday

Halloween is my favorite holiday because I have so much fun dressing up and seeing groups in costumes.

All About Me

I value community and relationships. I often host friends and family for dinner or a rooftop cookout. I am a good listener and friends often seek me out for advice. For the past 6 years, I have volunteered as a mentor to a young woman in foster care, and it has been an honor to support her and see her grow as she navigated high school, jobs, and independent living.

I Love to Learn & Explore

I plan to offer plenty of opportunities for a little one to do the same. I enjoy eating foods from many cultures, strolling different neighborhoods while at home or traveling abroad. I enjoy going to concerts and keeping active by riding my bike on the trails in Marin County, which is just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. For many years, I was part of the San Francisco Triathlon club, competing in swimming, biking, and running events. Currently, I teach a fitness class at a local studio. Growing up, I competed on teams in swimming, soccer, and flag football.

My Work

I’ve been with the same company for more than ten years. It’s a biotech company and my years there have been spent doing analytics and marketing. I am very proud of my part in providing information to doctors and patients about medicines that help people with difficult diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis, severe allergies, and cancer. I enjoy my work because it leads to patients getting the treatment they need to live better. I’m also fortunate to work for a company that supports parents and families. This includes benefits like extended parental leave and on-campus child care, but also a flexible approach to work, by allowing employees to adjust their schedule to take care of school pick-up or appointments. I have accomplished so much professionally and personally in earning a business degree from the University of Virginia and a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern University. One of my best memories from my education was studying abroad for a semester each in Copenhagen, Denmark and Paris, France.

My Home and Community

I own a condominium and there are families with young children throughout the building, including my floor. My home is walking distance to the grocery store, library, YMCA and JCC. My neighborhood has multiple good schools, and casual restaurants with kid-approved burgers and pizza. Nearby is Golden Gate Park which has numerous recreation areas and nature exhibits, including live buffaloes. I’m also just a short drive from boating and snow sports at Lake Tahoe.

And close to my home are fun experiences and activities like Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is home to sea otters, penguins, sharks, jellies, and thousands of other marine animals and plants. There is always something to do in my neighborhood or just a short drive away.

My Extended Family

I’m lucky to have a close-knit relationship with both my immediate and extended family. My parents are moving to San Francisco to be close by. They are retired and excited to be grandparents. Currently, my father volunteers at a food bank and church. He is a big fan of NFL and college football. He also loves puzzles and games and will patiently teach and play those games with a new grandchild. My mother volunteers at a community clinic and works part time. She is artistic in all things, whether crafts, painting, or clothes. She is always ready to break out the art supplies for a new project. My sister lives in New Orleans. She looks forward to sharing her love for growing vegetables and flowers, and cooking with a little one. In addition to my immediate family and numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles who are kind and supportive of my adoption journey.

Thank You

Thank you for taking a moment to learn about me. If our paths do come together in this journey, please know your child will always have the love and care that you took in making this decision. I believe in the importance of having an open relationship at the level you feel most comfortable, whether sooner or down the road. I am here for you, your child, and for us in building a relationship that feels “right” for you.
