Introduction

I'm a disciplined, vegetarian, athletic recent college graduate from Washington, D.C. who loves meeting new people from all cultures and walks of life. Don't hesitate to say hello!

Spiritually, the Lord is an ever-present friend, daily teaching me about His character and His purposes for me and the world. On my own, I enjoy reading theology books and resting in silent meditation. In my church, I love singing on the praise team and preaching. And at school, I led students in their spiritual development, teaching them from God's Word and helping them build witnessing communities in their dorms.

Being reared in a military household, I've moved many times all over the world. From the UK to Japan, my experiences in and out of the US have fostered a love for diversity and adventurous experiences in me. I think they also had a strong impact on my decision to pursue a diplomatic vocation. I just love being abroad.

Personality wise, I've found a balance between fierce enthusiasm and calm focus. Some things that I aspire to are clear communication, putting others first, loyalty in relationships, and honesty. But this doesn't mean I'm a pushover. I will certainly speak my mind, stand my ground, and sometimes become fiercely independent. In this way, I'm a bit of a paradox.

Still, I seek balance in every area of my life, seeking to engage both the feeling and rational aspects of my personality. I'm certainly not one to believe that anyone's personality is innate, but that each person is their own project. I'm a bit of an existentialist in that regard.

Ultimately, I'm looking for people who enjoy deep conversation, spending time outdoors, and socialising with others. Simplicity, modesty, adaptability, and a sharp mind are all traits I value deeply.
