A little bit about me

I am a 32 year old married woman and former engineer. Several years ago, after learning that I am barren, I changed career focus from computer science and engineering to psychiatric nursing and children. Over these last several years, I have worked as an educator, a human resources director, an administrative assistant, and am currently working as a nursing assistant.

My hobbies have persisted from childhood wherein I took a liking to carpentry and home improvement, sewing and clothing design, jogging, and literature. Recently, I have picked up song and dance.

People describe me as calm, liking to plan ahead, formal, gentle, and not a rulebreaker. My dishes are well attended at potlucks. My home is clean. I am not an introvert. I love and am loved by my family. My spouse and I have been together since 2015.

Thank you for reading. If you believe your children and I may be a tidy match, I would appreciate our discussing over lunch.
