I recently graduated from St. Lawrence University and now work at a non-profit in Beaverton/Hillsboro, OR. I specifically work against domestic violence and support victims/survivors of that violence. I currently volunteer quite a bit, have started out a routine of yoga and acupuncture to help with my asthma, attend a UU church in downtown Portland and also attend both a meditation group and a book club at that church.
I really love animals, I'm vegan. I want to start volunteering at an animal shelter if I can figure out a good consistent time to do so. I'm planning on getting a dog probably around Christmastime or later, I want to have sufficient funds and a good routine set in place before bringing in an adopted companion animal.
