Describe your own personality to us

My personality is characterized by a hidden trait of being introverted. I am outgoing, excellent in group settings, and I enjoy taking the stage for a performance. When I've had enough of the spotlight, I retreat into my personal space to recharge. My personality is very "no nonsense" which has helped me surround myself with people who understand my need for frequent alone time despite how "people oriented" I can be.

Books you are currently reading

Currently I am re-reading A Midsummer Night's Dream (my favorite of Shakespeare's works) and The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin

Who are you closest to in your family and why?

I am closest to my mother because so much of who I am are pieces of her and the areas where we differ complement each other well. I am also incredibly close to my sisters-in-law because until 2 years ago I had only brothers. Getting bonus sisters after my brothers found life partners has been a dream come true!

If you could tell the intended parents who are considering you one thing, what would it be?

I am beyond proud of you for your never-ending sense of hope - you are SO strong!

Places you'd love to travel

If I could travel the entire world in one lifetime I would. But since I cannot the top two places on my list are Rome, because I love the ancient culture, history, and art, and Machu Picchu for the hike of a lifetime!

What are your favorite words to live by?

Treat EVERYONE with the respect you feel you yourself should be given.

Sports/Dance/Hobbies you enjoy

I love to watch baseball and hockey. I love to play softball I have danced my whole life - my favorite styles are jazz and modern I am a notorious bookworm in my family - if they can't get a hold of me, they usually assume I've started a new book. I also paint - predominantly with acrylics but I'm about to try my hand with oils.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

In ten years I have no doubts that I'll be living back on the East Coast, in Boston or New York City and working with theater in some capacity. I am taking the necessary steps now to make that happen.
