Why San Francisco is important to me: San Francisco represents a personal challenge, and that is why this city is important to me. The city is quintessentially different than where I grew up. I was raised in rural Georgia, and I never imagined I’d live in a major city. Now I the only mode of transportation I have is a bicycle, I use BART daily, and I’m beginning to understand the allure of urban life. San Francisco is important to me, because the challenges of living here mandate a certain amount of flexibility in my life that stimulates personal growth.

Something unique about me: I enjoy backpacking, and I have hiked hundreds of miles throughout our amazing National Parks!
