I'm a unique blend of uber-nerd/intellectual with comedienne, aspiring fashionista (that means I like clothes...big surprise), wannabe artist, bookworm, wannabe musician, and writer. But don't be fooled by the fact that I like to dress up...I'm just as much tomboy as girly-girl...I love the woods so much that my undergrad emphasis was in wildlife ecology. I'm determined to make an impact in this lifetime, but haven't decided with certainty how that should be. Right now, I teach high-school biology, which I love most days. Making an impact on people's lives is such a rewarding experience. I don't think I could ever have a job where I didn't help people.

My "perfectly imperfect" match would be a man who can keep up with my humor, wise, intelligent, loves music and movies, who can be just as at ease while wine-tasting as at a scummy tex-mex restaurant. If you're a sweet and thoughtful guy, you won't go unappreciated here! Someone with integrity, great communication skills, class, an education, occasional crassness, a giving heart, and maturity. Career-minded is a must, but balance with your personal life is extremely important to me. I'm always hungry to see new places, so if you love to travel, when are we leaving? Cooking or massage skills earn you definite brownie points. I have two inside dogs, so allergies aren't really compatible. Oh, and you have to be confident standing next to me in heels. :)
