Date women from Canada / Ontario / Carleton Place, 26 year old

Date someone special from Canada. I'm a talented, independent woman, who put education and my own personal goals ahead of dating for the last few years. Having just moved to Ontario recently I am finding it challenging to meet different people, and am looking for someone to spend time with, possibly long-term. I have graduated from university with a degree in Medical Anthropology, and am currently seeking enrolled in a Paramedic training program. In the meantime I am continuing working in recreation, which I have enjoyed doing for the last 8 years. I come from a large family, who are very important to me.
I am a bit shy when I first meet people, but warm up quickly and am fairly adventurous, I am willing to try anything at least once.
I am pretty level-headed, and working with kids for so many years has taught me to be patient and calm and especially how to be able to laugh at myself.
If there is anything else you'd like to know please do not hesitate to ask, I am a little shy of initiating communication so make the first move I'd love to get to know you better.
