Personal History
Important facets of her personal history that have shaped how she views the world include her Jewish heritage, her survival from addiction and identity as a “recovering” person of over 23 years, her embodiment of sex-positivity and pansexuality, her love of physicality, and her roles as a proud parent and partner. She has a wholehearted commitment to a life focused on altruistic citizenship and evolving towards being the best human she can be. Also, she has a pretty great sense of humor.
