About Me

Recently graduated from the University of Washington with shiny degrees in Math and Finance. Now I work downtown as an Actuarial Analyst in that great big black tower. I live just a few blocks from work in an apartment on First Hill with my boyfriend, Alex. Hmmmm what else, I spend way too much time on the computer, go to a few concerts, watch sci fi tv and movies, read the economist, I used to be a voracious reader actually, but I don't seem to have time any more. Other than that send me a message and we can chat.
