We’re a mighty team of volunteers that keeps the Transplant engine running. Full of ideas, energy, and passion for our community (and adventure!), we’d like to take a moment to introduce ourselves.

HIDDEN TALENT
I make a mean mix cd.
HOPES AND DREAMS
That unicorns are real. But if they’re not, I hope that everyone everywhere has the ability to harness that type of magic for themselves.

HIDDEN TALENT
I can identify the make and model of maybe 80% of the cars we all see everyday on the road. Why? I really don’t know… Also, I love trains, and can hold a conversation about commercial aviation as well…at least on the passenger airline side.
HOPES AND DREAMS
To help build this endeavor into the first stop for fellow transplants to the area. Also, I sort of want to buy a flat in London, but that would require winning the lottery I think…

ORIGIN

HIDDEN TALENT
I can count to 31 on one hand!
HOPES AND DREAMS
To challenge what’s broken, fix what I can, and be happy along the way. You know, the small stuff.

HIDDEN TALENT
Mind-reader. Mm hmmmm.
HOPES AND DREAMS
To inspire women to step into their power! To share the art of collaboration and practices of self-care. To hold space for a dialogue of difference. To travel the world for a continually renewed perspective. To write a book.

To live in a van.

HIDDEN TALENT
I studied Opera, which people seldom believe. But it’s true. I can sing Opera in several languages, though I don’t speak any of them, so I have no idea what I’m actually saying.
HOPES AND DREAMS
My biggest dream is that my kids, Harry and Maisie, will grow up to be kind, hard working people. And, I still have a small hope that I’ll be a starting major league shortstop. Mostly because shortstop is just a cool word.
