Hobbies
I am a Californian transplant to the Pittsburgh area with a profound love for all things geeky, tech-related and genre. When I'm not teaching myself new things (a personal passion) I can be found fencing, reading and crocheting my many various craft projects. If I were to describe myself in few words it would be: upbeat, quirky, fun loving and intellectual. Above all else, I love to meet new people - so don't hesitate to message, I'm always happy to help!
