I'm intellectually well-rounded and love to talk about anything and everything truly relevant. I believe that "Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." And I try to live by those words. I believe that a formal education is extremely important, but that perpetual learning is also crucial to a fulfilling life. Self-improvement should be a life-long mission. I believe in being a strong, independent woman capable of taking care of herself, but still choosing to care for and be cared for by someone else. Oh, and I have a huge soft-spot for nerds. Liked 'em wayy before it was cool.
