I am a deeply curious human. I enjoy reading, art, dance, cycling, adventure, community, travel, and meeting new people. I am a freelance UX researcher and a photographer.
I have owned the property for more than nine years and live on the first floor. I think of the entire building as a home and have put a lot of time and energy into taking care of and improving the house. I know the neighbors in all of the surrounding houses — they are all lovely humans who offer a quick hello or are up for chat just about any time.
