A Few Fun Facts (and Misadventures)
​These are the stories, mishaps, and small moments that shaped me, in and out of work.
CSI: NY
Once upon a time, I did stunt work for CSI: NY, an underwater scene in a man-made lake on their special effects lot. There were car crashes, helicopters, and fake blood. Ten out of ten, would dive again.
Yoga + Cocktails
I bartended in Hollywood on Sundays to pay for my yoga teacher training. The perfect combo of mindfulness and martinis.
Puppies
I foster puppies like it’s an Olympic sport; my adoption rate is suspiciously high, and yes, I cry (with joy) every time they don’t leave.
Dance
With a BFA in Choreography, I co-choreographed a dance piece called Waterworn that was commissioned by Headwaters Dance Company. It somehow stayed in their repertoire for over a decade.
Janet
At a house party in Los Angeles, I spent over an hour talking choreography and commercial dance with Gil Duldulao (Janet Jackson’s creative director). A top-five life moment and the best unpaid masterclass ever.​
Burgers
During my L.A. years, I worked at a little burger joint that somehow attracted every celebrity under the sun. The ones who stood out? Alanis Morissette, Lisa Ling, and Hilary Swank. All genuine, gracious, and refreshingly real.
Barstow
I once broke down in Barstow trying to leave L.A. after a year… and decided to turn around and stay another fifteen. Sometimes the universe redirects.
Improv
When cooking, I improvise like I choreograph and make a mean vanilla-cinnamon steak. (It works. I promise.)
Heights
I’m terrified of heights but have somehow sky-dived, parasailed, and floated in a hot-air balloon.
Spills
I run into things regularly and spill on myself often; keeping clothes new is an impossible dream.
Horror
​I love suspense and horror films, but I close my eyes and hum through the scary scenes. So really, I just enjoy the soundtracks.
Trust
Strangers tell me their life stories (in checkout lines, on flights, at coffee shops) and I genuinely love listening.
Data
I nerd out on health and wellness research. I actually read medical studies for fun.
Coffee
I’ve worked and traveled through places like Singapore, Ireland, Argentina, Germany, and the Caribbean during my time in the domain name industry, which means I can find good espresso in almost any time zone.
Mold
I survived toxic mold poisoning (Stachybotrys. Yes, the bad one), which taught me the importance of pace and self-advocacy.
People
​And above all, I love people and their stories, their humor, and the strange, wonderful ways we all try to make life work.
If you’ve read this far, we’re probably a good match for something creative, structured, or somewhere in between. Let's work together. Or at least grab coffee and trade stories.
