I am interested in making friendships with possibilities, finding an appreciative and adventurous audience for my culinary experimentation, partners for taking long walks through scenic hills in the east bay and crowded streets of foreign cities and ultimately, discovering ‘the one’ with whom I can walk into the sunset…

I am happy, easygoing, intelligent, kind, generous, playful, energetic and health conscious. I believe in living by the golden rule, taking risks and enjoying simple things. I like bicycle rides with pit stops for coffee, boogie boarding in San Diego, stimulating conversation, dancing to Latin music, watching seeds sprout and grow into plants, cooking with vegetables and herbs I grow in my garden and spending time with my family and friends.

Love to experiment with food. After discovering a new and delicious dish, i enjoy replicating it, then modifying the ingredients to make it healthy, and finally introducing new, tasty elements which hopefully lead to a wonderful concoction that satisfies the blend of sensual flavors residing in my imagination.

My most valuable lessons in life have come from being a parent. There is nothing more powerful than the natural instinct of putting another person first and nothing more challenging than balancing self interest vs. 'doing the right thing'



'The One' is a true friend who makes me laugh and my partner in crime.
