Though I’ve spent the majority of my grown-up life living in Europe and Asia (as a student and researcher), I am still a girl from the midwest — and I believe my temperament reflects this. Physically? Well, I hope that my photos speak for themselves. I stand at 5’10” with a natural hourglass figure (see Velázquez’s Rokeby Venus). My deep blue eyes are the recipient of most polite compliments, framed by long dark hair and set upon alabaster skin. If it’s important to you I will have you know that I have no tattoos, piercings, or enhancements (why put a bumper sticker on a Bentley?). 

I enjoy playing classical piano and I have an encyclopedia of jazz standards stored in my brain which I love to sing. I prefer to be offline and outside: I’ve enjoyed seeing lesser traveled corners of the world by canoe and horse. I sometimes get carried away (literally) by my extracurricular interests and curiosities, finding myself in the strangest of situations asking myself, yet again, what am I doing here?

I’ve been called picaresque, as a thinly veiled insult. So much for my innocent life!
