I grew up between cities — never quite belonging to one place, which I think is why I understand people so easily. I find strangers interesting. I find their stories worth protecting.

What I offer isn't listed on a menu. It's time. Real time, with a real person who is entirely present with you. Whether that means dinner at a restaurant you've been saving, a weekend away where you don't want to be alone, or simply an evening that doesn't feel like an obligation.

I have a postgraduate degree, a serious wine habit, and an opinion on most things. I laugh easily and listen well. I will not make you feel like a transaction.
