I’m an introvert and a homebody but I love the stimulation of a big city. I love that I can take it all in without anyone bothering me; in New York you become part of the madness while getting to stay safe inside your own head. It makes me feel alive and it’s what made me fall in love with living and working here.

I love animals (even bugs), Stardew Valley, train rides, playing chess, Caprese anything, collecting vintage cameras, long walks, psychological thriller books, heated blankets, basking in sunlight, pop music, & tea time. I hate airplanes, handshakes, and small talk. For my 30th birthday, six attendees were past brides. I think it speaks to how intimate spending a wedding day with someone is. When it storms, I involuntarily shake just like my Chihuahua. We can’t help it.
