Location	Carlsbad, California, United States
Introduction	I am a: mother of two humans and one dog, marathon runner, film studies instructor, card-carrying Episcopalian, Democrat. I am half Irish. I grew up in a military family. I don't eat mushrooms, eggs, shrimp or those miniature corn cob thingies. I do my own nails. I get motion sickness. I have curly hair and frequent nightmares. I believe in God, love, truth, education, art and hard work. I don't believe in shame, oppression, corporate tax shelters, trickle-down economics, or paying full price. XOXO
