Description

Hello!

Humans are my jam. I love to teach and to learn. I enjoy reading memoirs, making friends with critters, and riding my bike around town.

I find art fascinating - I make visual art, play the ukulele (improv only), and mend clothes.

One of my favorite ways to spend time is to host mending parties, where people bring their clothes & we fix the clothing together.

I'm taking a break from my undergrad studies to explore. My vibe is wholesome, boundaried, introspective, and tending towards delight in the every day. Friends have called me "a gentle human bean".

I have experience with chronic illness and developed a lot of soft skills from that. One of the impacts of that life experience is that I see the world from a radically compassionate framework.

More details about my language interests
I took Spanish courses for 6 years. I feel alive and warm when I speak Spanish. I've never traveled to a Spanish-speaking country but hope to live in Mexico in the next year or so.
