Things you may not know about me:

🏠 I moved to the ‘burbs to save a midcentury bungalow from demolition.

💩 I jacked in my corporate job working for a big retailer on impulse but it’s the best thing I ever did.

😉 The second best thing I ever did was something naughty with Brad Pitt. DM me to find out what it was.
