I'm a passionate person and a nurturer. My favorite season is the summer/autumn and I am always looking forward to warm weather and sunshine. I hate the cold!!! I enjoy taking leisurely walks in Central Park (when it's warm out), but rollerblading the West Side bike path is fun too (again, when warm). I have taken up swing dancing and have found it to be tons of fun! I have a nasty starbucks addiction and only drink soy caramel macchiatos, although the Banana Chocolate Vivanno is fantastic (have you tried it??). I have a cat who thinks she's a dog - we play fetch. My favorite books include the Harry Potter series and the Twilight series, so that may make me somewhat of a nerd, but I'm comfortable with that. Don't let that fool you though. I grew up playing 16 years of competitive tennis, culminating in NCAA national tournaments and a top 20 collegiate national ranking. So I'm a tough, athletic nerd ;-) Oh, and I love sushi and cheese...separately, of course.
