About me

About me:
I'm an adventurer. I love to get out and experience new things. On any given weekend I'm probably hiking in the mountains or exploring some new craft brewery in town. I'm that person in your friend group that is always suggesting a new place to go on or a new trip to take.

Why Boston
I'm a Boston native. I grew up here and have loved the beautiful brick buildings and winding streets of this city ever since I was a little kid. Now, living here again as an adult after 10 years away, I love the vibrant artistic and craft scene that has taken root. There are constantly new craft breweries, art galleries, new restaurants, or funky events to go check out.
