By nature, I am a fun-loving optimist whose greatest pleasure is to make others happy. I enjoy (in no particular order): playing piano, surfing the net, solving problems, writing poetry, playing scrabble, classical music, volunteering, cuddling, being pampered, trading stocks, learning new things, being witty, loving my family and friends, collecting advanced credentials, marveling at the beauty of nature and my good fortune in life, eating filet mignon, hiking, and light biking. My core values are integrity, generosity, and having fun.

I'm looking to meet an honorable, considerate man, who enjoys sharing his experiences and feelings, who has both an intellectual bent and a well-developed sense of humor (i.e., laughs at my jokes), who enjoys giving of himself, who recognizes the value of fun, and who is appreciates both my brains and my femininity. Most important (because historically it's been the most challenging for men I've met), he recognizes that my myriad of academic and professional achievements are merely a fascinating part of who I am, finds them beautiful rather than intimidating, and does not let them get in the way of appreciating my sensuality, my female vulnerabilities, or the essential beauty of my soul.
