I’m a professional dancer and ballet teacher, and have been working in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2001.

I have pets and plants, and play acoustic guitar. I do not own a couch, television, microwave, or my current home.

I have been sober since 2013 and do not take drugs, although I believe in the use of certain psychedelics for self-exploration.

I have been vegan since 2014 and continue to follow a whole foods plant-based diet for health, environmental, and ethical reasons.

I am passionate about animal welfare, and believe it is willfully ignorant of people to support the exploitation and mass murder of innocent sentient beings.

I believe climate change is an urgent and existential crisis, and it is incumbent on human beings to take an active role in its mitigation.

I am disheartened by the greed, bigotry, and corruption of our elected officials, and have no faith in any political system.

I hate guns, support equality in the truest sense of the word, and feel that everyone is to some extent, inherently queer.

I do not believe in any higher power, and am strongly opposed to organized religion of any kind.

I believe in the power of the individual over any semblance of community, however small. People will inevitably change your mind.

I believe that actions speak louder than words, most things are better left unsaid, and clichés are unavoidable.

I believe in humility, sincerity, empathy, and simplicity, wherever they can be found.

I believe in love, and that it is not enough.
