I love to read, hike, ice skate, and ski. My friends and family bring me great joy. I have many hobbies and interests. I work in philanthropy to share and invest resources. I believe our liberation is collective and intertwined.

Finished this lovely book on my last leg of holiday travel. It is set long after some sort of apocalypse, and left a lot to the imagination about what came before. I loved feeling immersed in the environment. #booksky #books 📚💙
