   Hi!  I am based in Washington, DC and love traveling.  When I'm not plotting my next wanderlust destination, I enjoy running races, hanging out with family, exploring the latest "it" restaurants, hiking, and kicking back with FoodTV.  Faith and spirituality are important to me, and serve as my constant guideposts in navigating life in all of its wonderful complexities.  By way of background, I grew up in Maryland, went to college in the South (Go Blue Devils!), and spent two fabulous (though freezing) years in the Boston area for grad school.  After a seven-year stint in management consulting and a brief interlude of living overseas, I came back home to DC (and became a lawyer in my spare time).
