I grew up in a small town in Northern California. I came to Orange County to go to college, found a company I loved working for, fell in love with the weather and never left. I am currently a HR Manager for a non-profit clinic, but I am back in school for my Master’s in Communicative Disorders to become a Speech Language Pathologist. I have a huge, amazing family who most of whom live too far away. I am very close to them and travel home as often as possible. I don’t know what I would do without mobile-to-mobile minutes and the internet.

When I have free time I enjoy anything outdoors. I wasn’t blessed with a lot of athletic talents, but I will try anything once … well, almost anything. I am still finding all of the great places to explore and hike in Orange County so if you’re willing be a tour guide, then we could have a lot of fun. I enjoy a good night on the town, but I am also perfectly content enjoying a home cooked meal and a bottle of a wine.

At the risk of sounding like a cliché, I am looking for something more than a one night fling. As much as I enjoy a good night of dive bar hopping, I’m past the point where that is what I do every weekend. I would like to meet a man who is established in his career or is actively working towards it (i.e., in school with a career in mind), someone who shares similar interests but has some of his own, who is affectionate, and who enjoys acting like a kid at times but knows when to be a grown-up.

My grandmother was full of advice when I was growing up, most of it didn’t make much sense, but two things will always stick with me: 1.) the best way to man’s heart is through is his stomach (so, I hope you are hungry) and 2.) sometimes in life you just need to take a chance and have a little fun.

I've recently been informed that men do not find tattoos sexy. If you agree with this statement we won't be good together. I have 5 (yes, they can can be covered when necessary, yes they are all girly and yes they are all symbolic of something in my life).

**I often check my email from my blackberry and cannot receive instant messages. If you'd like to chat, please send me an email and we'll go from there**

First dates should be fun and a way to get to know eachother. How about bowling a few frames? 18 holes of mini-golf? Ice cream in the park? or my favorite, Disneyland :)
