About This Lister

I'm Laura (she/her). I'm a consumer protection lawyer in my mid-30s, and I’m a friendly introvert who’s home a lot of the time. I’m an avid cyclist, and I love crosswords, reading, roller skating, and cooking/baking. I occasionally get totally sucked into vapid TV shows. I don't smoke and I only drink on occasion.

I'm looking for a roommate who's considerate, thoughtful, and committed to keeping common spaces clean. I'm also hoping for an amiable vibe - friendly chats in the kitchen at the end of the day are one of the delights of living with other people. I want to note that sound travels easily in the apartment - if you're looking to play loud music, have frequent guests, or bring the party home, it won't be a good fit. Because I do work remotely on a regular basis and because noise travels enough to overhear phone conversations, a roommate who works mostly in the office would be ideal. That said, nothing is a deal-breaker.

If you think this sounds like it could be a good fit, reach out and tell me more about yourself! (Please include the phrase “rainbow fish" so I can weed out spam responses.) If it sounds like we might be a good roommate match, we can plan a time for you to come see the space.
