My skills
University educated, well-traveled, and long history in political and government work. I've done everything from campaigns, to start-up groups, to House Caucuses, to working for the United States Embassy in Madrid, Spain. I speak English and Spanish, and understand French and Italian for the most part. I'm thoroughly trained in all things office related ( Microsoft, Adobe, Hosts, Government Intranet, etc.). More creatively, I did ballet for years, was in many a musical, and play piano. I've read pieces from the Communist Manifesto to Da Vinci Code to Crime and Punishment to Van Gogh's biography. I have a very wide base of interests, and am here to work on expanding them.

About Me
I have always been more than one person. I'm the over-achieving, straight-A student, now college-educated and Government trained. I'm the dancer, the artist, the pianist, and the singer, all of which I do mediocrely at best. I'm the traveller, the backpacker, sleeping on beaches and mountain tops alone or with new friends. I'm a cheese lover, and a wine lover. A good craft beer will get me, too. An animal lover, ex-vegetarian who converted while becoming an ex-pat to the States. I love Europe, and politics, and philosophical debate. I think the universe is too gargantuan for the human mind to even fathom, and that our ultimate role as humans is directly related to this. I think there's more to life than an office, than what I'm comfortable with, than what I've been groomed for; life is too grand to stay in one spot, which is why I am here, "in front" of you. Let's do something new.
