This week I am excited to introduce a familiar face during my first burn. She’s also one of the coolest people I know.

How’d you get your playa name?

I’m very similar in both default/playa worlds.

What do you do in the default world?

Work in clinical research; Working on a PhD; Teach a little

What’s your favorite Polaris memory?

When a boy I connected with during a sunrise dust storm after the Man burn used the Cyberia website/contact form to try to find me again/to find a way to get in touch with me. Honestly one of the most romantic little series of events in my life.

What piece of advice would you give to a new member of the camp?

Let go of any attachment to trying to do or see everything, or even to trying to do or see too much — just roll with it, it will be awesome. Hang out with your awesome campmates, you will bring each other to the right moments/places/experiences.

If you were a type of bread which would you be and why?

Gluten free sourdough because I can’t eat regular bread, and also sourdough loaves are hard but pretty on the outside and soft but a little funky on the inside, lol

What song would you say best sums you up?

1st pick: A Drowning by How to Destroy Angels,
2nd pick: Call It What You Want by Taylor Swift

Name your favorite thing about another member of the camp.

Voluptuousrobot and I have been laughing at basically the same jokes for 15 years!
