If I’m playing the Mary Poppins role, then Tim is the Paddington bear of the family - not only because his dad is from Peru but because he’s the best and most reliable friend you could ever ask for. He has empathy, kindness, and genuine curiosity in spades. You can always rely on him for good advice but he’s also incredible at turning a day around and making it better … it might be the Californian in him.
One of the things I love most about him is that he’s really good at not just seeing a situation/person for where they are but where they/it could be and works with them to help bring them towards that version of themselves/the situation. I know that level-headedness, feeling of safety, and big-heartness will come in very handy when there’s a toddler in the middle of a meltdown(!!).
My favorite place is on the water.
I’m a Peace Corps baby (mom from the States, dad from Peru), so I love to travel!
I grew up more of an arts person, but discovered soccer in my 30s and luckily found a partner who shares the passion. Go Gunners!
I picked up gardening in the pandemic and love to be in connection with nature.
