About Me

I'm secretly (or not so secretly) a huge dork. I love traveling, trying new foods, reading, writing and taking pictures. I also love video games, but lately I've been trying to cut back.I am an RN working on a general medicine unit at a major Boston teaching hospital. I love the fast pace and unpredictable nature of my job (most of the time). Someday I'd like to go back to school for public health nursing and work to make a difference in the lives of people who lack access to health care. But for now, I'm having fun getting my feet wet.
I live with my fiancé in a house that we've been remodeling for the last two or three years. It's fun and exciting 99% of the time. The other 1% of the time, our ceiling leaks and the electricity doesn't work.
I've scattered my travel photos here and here . Someday I'll get it together and add descriptions to all of them. Or maybe not.
