..} a I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Well I currently work for the National Park Service. I am actually a Park Ranger. I live extremely close to Las Vegas and go there frequently! In the beginning, I was an SCA at Manzanar NHS for 6 months. Then I moved over to Scotty's Castle to give living history tours. Yes, I dressed up in clothing from the year 1939. I did this gig for 6 months and now I work at Furnace Creek. That is quite a name, isn't it? Furnace Creek is the main visitor center in Death Valley National Park. I do various jobs - education programs, interpretive programs, living history, writing curriculum, fire training, working the front desk, etc. While doing this, I am finishing my masters degree in education. With all luck, I will be graduated with my masters in 2010.I am originally from Southern California so it is nice to move around in the National Park Service. once I finish my masters degree I may move to another National Park in the US or I may stay in Death Valley for awhile longer. I personally love to travel and explore so my job is quite fun! In general I love to explore, travel, read about history and make new friends. I am always up for a new and exciting adventure!!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Just about anyone. Everyone always needs a friend in the good and bad times. Someone who can encourage them and show them God! I do like honesty and true friends who can be there through the good and the bad. I really enjoy what I can and who I can hang out with. People who can just be themselves, be open minded and accepting of differences are the best people to be around!
