Until May 2012, I was an analyst and certified medical coder at a major trauma hospital in Seattle, WA. I was also an adult advisor for a Masonic girls' youth group. I was also a full-time student.
In May 2012, I left my job and Seattle to move to the Indianapolis area to be closer to friends and family. I graduated magna cum laude with a BS in Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in May 2014 and am now working on my MBA at Ball State University. I am also a full-time clinical analyst for a large hospital system in the Indianapolis area.
I have a variety of hobbies. I've been crocheting since I was 8, and knitting since I was 22. I have learned how to spin and weave, though I'm hardly an expert at either. I can also cross-stitch, needlepoint, and sew clothing. But mostly, I knit. I got gold medals in the 2006 and 2010 Knitting Olympics. I read like a gerbil on crack, I play tabletop RPGs (Scion, Pathfinder, Trinity, Aberrant, some World of Darkness) and admin a 15-year running World of Darkness LARP at GenCon, for which I also run the Vampire sphere.
I have the awesomest puppies.
Miss Angua Grace Puppinsky-Rompanopolis, Lieutenant of the Red Hound Army, is a 7 year old bloodhound-lab mix.
Miss Alannah Jane Sleepyface Corporal Radar Wigglebottom the Froshus, Queen of the Carrot Mafia, is a baby boxer/whippet mix.
Both my girls :)
I live with Miss Puppy and the Little Bit, my boyfriend W, and my Little.
I am friend, daughter, sister, confidant, beloved, heart. I am a warrior queen, and I will not go down. The wind is in my hair, the road is beneath my feet, and I am ready for whatever comes, with eyes open, arms wide, and weapons ready. I will survive. I will thrive. I will live. And I will win.
Matters of Policy: If I add you to my friends list, and you don't know me, it doesn't mean I'm stalking you. If I take you off of my friends list, and you do know me, it doesn't mean I hate you. If you add me to your friends list and I can't figure out where you encountered me, I probably won't add you back.
