Who I am at the core: Intellectually curious, adventurous, deeply driven, and eager to make a positive difference in the world.
Looking for a life-long partner to join me on the hunt for the answers to life’s biggest questions, like:
"What are the keys to a happy, fulfilling life?"
"How can we do the most good in the world?"
"Want to get coffee this weekend?"

👨👩👧👦 I have one older sister, and I maintain a warm relationship with my parents.
</aside>
I don’t have any children. I love kids, but I don’t want any of my own. (Not necessarily a deal breaker though.)
I’m ethnically Vietnamese, though culturally, I’m thoroughly Americanized.
I’m looking for a serious long-term relationship, hopefully leading to marriage.
I’m seeking a balanced partnership, where each person supports and pushes the other to grow and to become their best selves.
The person I’m searching for is probably: deeply curious about the world and passionate about something, is open-minded and tolerant of new ideas, has a playful, feminine energy and is ready to riff, is emotionally intelligent, and has a sense of direction in their life.

Love Languages
Physical touch
Sharing fun facts about science and history

Physically, I’m most attracted to active, slender women who are shorter than me. But I’ll throw basically all my physical preferences out the window for someone with the right personality and character!

I’m an atheist, not religious, and not spiritual. But open to dating anyone regardless of their religious beliefs.
I don’t identify with any political group, and I’m not politically active. My policy opinions cover a lot of different issues, but I tend to lean libertarian. Also open to dating anyone regardless of their political beliefs.
I have a 1.5-year-old Parson Russell Terrier named Scout. He’s the light of my life, and I spend the majority of my free time taking care of him in the mornings and evenings.
In the summers, he wakes me up as early as 6:00 am to go for a walk. I’m happy to continue taking care of Scout 100%, but it would be nice to have a partner who’s able to entertain him while I’m taking a nap in the afternoon sometimes!
I’ve done the voice narration for three audiobooks: Knowledge, Reality, and Value
I’m vegan-adjacent (it’s complicated)
Freshman year of college, I won a cooking competition in my dorm by making Fettuccine Alfredo and muffins with Carolina Reaper powder. (That same year, I almost set the kitchen on fire while cooking some chicken.)
Senior year of college, I won second place in a performance arts competition by performing magic
I worked as a photographer for half a year, taking student yearbook photos. (A perk of dating me is that you’ll get lots of tasteful candids!)
I once spent a month eating exclusively potatoes, for science!
