I hail from the south but spent many years in Southern California, and I am here to make Chicagoland my home. I love to laugh. I love people who can make me laugh. I love people who can make me think. And show me who they are through deep conversation. Please share your story with me! I am an old soul, an INFJ and an introvert, although I am certainly not shy! I love people watching. I’m obsessed with dogs, coffee, food, scripted television, comedy, blue jeans, rock n roll, yoga, books, the rain. I am a fall/winter indoorsy person. You can find me in coffee shops, book stores, yoga studios, thrift stores, museums, theaters, concerts, restaurants, chic bars, and comedy clubs. A former teacher and a life long nerd, I love literature and poetry, science, history, and art. I like good people, good energy, and good times.
