I was a Peace & Justice Studies educator before LC flipped my life upside down.

Conflict is natural, but I’d love housemates who can engage with it thoughtfully and work through challenges. I appreciate clear boundaries, mutual respect, and a balance of privacy and connection. I’d love housemates who enjoy occasional shared meals, crafts, or outings and respect quiet, introverted time.COVID SafetyLooking for housemates who practice precautions, inc:Masking & testing in groups or when symptomatic or after risky eventsHaving guests mask/test Following house isolation protocols if infectedBeing open to convos about risk/care for each otherPetsGinkgo is a lb, v friendly, mostly trained, and well-exercised pup.
