Maureen is a curious explorer who is fascinated with people and the stories they tell. So far, she has journeyed to 5 continents spending short to long periods of time living in 9 cities and passing through more. Maureen speaks 2 and a half languages and continues to pick up sporadic words from foreign TV. She’s grown up but not quite a Grownup yet. Earlier in life, she was cast as a blind mouse who ran up a clock, spent several years as a competitive swimmer, and admits to not being the most successful pianist. Sometimes she gets lost just to see if she can find her way back and who she’ll meet along the way. She treasures coincidences and maybe one day will get to Glubbdubdrib.
