About

I am a friendly, easy-going, compassionate, and curious person who spends my time intentionally. I value community so if I can lend a hand and be a good neighbor to someone, that makes me happy. I know that my social circle got me through my times of need so I try to pay that forward wherever I can. I take my responsibilities seriously so you will find that I appreciate good time management and communication. Anyone who has ever crossed paths with me would agree I'm someone you can count on! 💪 I take time getting to know people and have maintained genuine relationships in my professional and personal life. I gained valuable relationship skills as a Mental Wellness Coach for 4 years too. Motivational Interviewing during that time taught me how to empower people through active/ reflective listening and curiosity. It has been a privilege to help people develop skills, achieve goals and understand themselves better. While I'm a great listener, I also appreciate simply BEING in the moment. Activities I most enjoy include: walking at the park, dining out, thrifting, gardening, little crafty projects, and cuddling my dog.. or anything to do with dogs. 🐶 I get excited about planning events such as my wedding and family gatherings, or just an arts & crafts night. I hosted a craft night once and what made it a success was the research, collaboration, and organization that went into it. When it comes to creating an experience, I am thoughtful and meticulous. I am aware that your individual needs and preferences might make this process look differently and I am flexible, resourceful, and creative when it comes to carrying out plans of any kind. A little background-- I was born and raised in California and have lived abroad since 2010. I am now settled here in Sydney with my husband and fur baby (Sansa). It's been wonderful exploring the ever-changing city, especially the yummy food! On my free days, you’ll likely find me tidying the house, cooking, nurturing the plants, phoning loved ones, looking for a laugh, and playing with Sansa. I'm open to an adventure so if you would like some company, let's connect and try some things together! 🤸
