Hello!

I'm looking for a place to call home, preferably starting August 1st to mid-August. However, I would consider an earlier start date for the right place, and potentially stay for more than one year if that works for all.

I am open to many possible living situations, including but not limited to: living alone, with others, caretaking someone's space, and/or some kind of barter situation. I also have a lot of experience in intentional communal living, having lived the last three years as part of a women's interfaith residency program (WIRP) at the seminary where I just graduated from. I am also open to furnished or unfurnished, as I have very few belongings.

My ideal space would be a mostly calm refuge from the intense residency work I will be engaged in, preferably not a party hub or a 15-minute+ walk to transit. I like my space tidy and clean, and love a room with good light. Bonus would include an outdoor space of some kind, or even a fire escape. AND as a long-time New Yorker with many moves under my belt, I am flexible and open to unique situations and spaces. Looking to be surprised by that special fit.

About This Lister

* Responsible, mature, grounded, warm, attuned.

Some personal narrative: I was adopted from Korea when I was one year old, and grew up in Oregon. I moved to NYC in 1997 and have lived here ever since. I was a single (co-)parent until my kid grew up and went to college, at which time I went back to school too.

And now, I'm in transition: I *just* graduated with my M.Div. from Union Theological Seminary, and will be starting my Chaplaincy / CPE residency at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in mid-August. I will be traveling most of the summer, and so am hoping to find something before mid-June.

(And my beloved kid, beside me in the photo, will start his senior year at Bard College upstate this fall, and will be visiting me from time to time.)

At seminary, I did my fieldwork at Rikers Jail, mostly centering the care of the pregnant, postpartum, trans, and gender-non-conforming folks there. Healing justice and community care is important to me.

These days, I am enjoying long walks, Russian and Korean spa days, bike riding, and as many trips to the river and ocean as possible.

Thanks for reading!
