I’m someone with a wide range of interests and love for life’s variety. I’m enticed by the magic of a Broadway show, the peace of hiking through nature, and the serendipity of exploring a new city. I find joy in so many different experiences, and I’ve been told I’m very down to earth. I’m as comfortable sipping champagne at a gala as I am curled up at home with a good book. I’m a passionate reader - fiction (currently novels that focus on life in New York City) and educational reads are my go-tos because I’m always eager to learn something new. I love taking walks through Central Park (especially if there’s a pastry and coffee involved), savoring creative tasting menus, and soaking in the beauty of nature. I feel at home in the mountains, chasing the challenge of a steep climb and the reward of those incredible views at the top. My favorite place I’ve ever hiked is Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, Chile and I’d love to hike the Pacific Crest Trail someday. I’m naturally drawn to intelligent, fun-loving people who share my enthusiasm for pursuing their passions—whether that’s a love for food, a dedication to a hobby, or the curiosity to explore deeper connections.

I’m originally from the Midwest, and I like to think that’s where my Midwestern charm comes from! It’s something people often mention about me and find really charming. Growing up, I was naturally curious and had a knack for getting into a bit of trouble, whether it was outsmarting my teachers or stirring up some harmless classroom mischief. As a child, everything changed the day I stumbled across a photo in a magazine: a confident, elegant woman standing in front of an airplane with a suitcase by her side. In that moment, I knew exactly what I wanted - to live a life like her, always exploring and onto the next adventure. I wanted to travel the world, embrace its endless wonders, and connect with fascinating people along the way. Now, I feel incredibly lucky to say I’ve visited more than 25 countries and counting!

While I love the thrill of exploring the world, I find just as much joy in life’s simpler pleasures. A glass of Sancerre, a good book, or sharing a laugh with someone special are enough to create some really unforgettable moments!

Let me show you that there’s so much more to me than meets the eye. I’m someone with a vibrant personality, an adventurous spirit, and a deep curiosity about the world. I thrive on meaningful connections and am always eager to learn and explore. Add in a playful side and a genuine love for new experiences, and I’m someone you won’t soon forget.
