Interests and hobbies

On rainy days I enjoy; curling up with a good book, scribbling word nonsense for my novel, role-playing games (D&D, Iron Sworn & Morgborg), and movie marathons - I am particularly partial to mystery stories.
On sunny days; I slather on sunscreen to explore hiking trails. I love camping and swimming in rivers and dams - though a waterfall is a true treat for me.
On moonlit nights, I carefully consider whether I brave pool halls with my merry band of misfits - or I bring gifts of wine and company to my soul mate, in exchange for their delicious cooking. I almost burned water once, so this is usually my deciding factor.

How I'd describe my personality in two sentences

An extrovert until I long for the quiet solitude of my tree-top den.
An introvert until I crave the heartbeat only found in the center of a crowded dance floor.

How I'd describe my approach to my work

When I have a deadline, I hyper-focus and my inner completionist gets a little thrill when I am finished with a project.
I hold myself to an incredibly high standard and am the sort of person who will ensure my work is as near to perfect as it can be.

Why should you choose me for your project

I am highly motivated and work extremely well under deadlines. Pressure makes diamonds.
