Lost in LA

About Me

Since I'm just looking for friends and colleagues from this site, I'll just tell you about a few of my interests. I work at an HIV research center in South LA and have focused my career on HIV-related research and social concerns for many years. I am a program manager and have a staff that does a tremendous amount of community-based research related to HIV care and support as well as social problems such as alcoholism and depression.I'm always looking for new friends to hike, camp, hang out with around LA. I love watching live music, going to farmer's markets, and taking road trips. My family lives pretty far away, so I am creating a network of a few close friends here. They are kind, friendly, open-minded people with interests ranging from work at studios to health-care agencies.
