The cocktail party introduction
I’m overeducated and underemployed, sometimes by choice. I love reading — books, magazines, websites, napkins. I’m usually reading at least two or three books at a time and nearly all of them are nonfiction. As an Internet Hoarder, I always have several dozen (or hundred) browser tabs open with countless articles, stories, and links saved. I'm curious how I may help others, often connecting their interests and needs to those countless articles, stories and links. I'm more confident in sharing my mental health experience with rooms full of strangers than with those who know me in real life. I eat in multiples of three.
