Optional Info

Education

I have bachelor degrees in music and arts (public administration) and am working towards completing a Masters in Health Policy.
Work

I work for the English government in health (though I’m not a doctor).
Hobbies and Interests

I’m passionate about classical music, enjoy soundtrack scores and have a “flaky at best” knowledge of other types of music. Folk music tends to resonate well with me but I’ve never been able to connect / see the value of rnb or rap.

I enjoy the natural world and spending time in the garden.

I love the fantasy genre and enjoy the escapism that it provides. I enjoy reading fantasy novels (though not as often as I used to) and enjoy fantasy computer games.

I’m interested in protecting one’s mental health and like the concept of “mind gyms” which focus on maintaining/improving mental fitness with or without physical exercise.
Pets, Children, Grandchildren

I have 3 chickens that keep me entertained when I’m at home. I love dogs but have never had one as a pet (they don’t tend to mix well with chickens!).
Faith / Denomination

I was raised catholic though I don’t attend church anymore. My faith is an important part of who I am and I try to be mindful of God’s presence in my life every day.
Relationship Status

I live with my partner in a long term monogomous relationship.
Degree of "Outness"

While I don’t necessarily broadcast it, I am as out as out can be. ?
