About Me

I was born and raised in Santa Barbara. After graduating from college, I moved to Denver, Colorado to complete 10 months of work with the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), a national community service organization.I spent time gutting homes and removing debris in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Living in a tent with 10 people for 5 weeks and sleeping on a cot an hour from the nearest city makes you realize what's really important in life. I also spent time in Slidell, Louisiana working with Habitat for Humanity while building new homes for victims of Hurricane Katrina.I have returned home to my roots and now work full time with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Santa Barbara airport. Here's to my new life in SoCal. Bring it on!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who are outgoing and enjoy good conversation, individuals who like to help others in need, and people with a good sense of humor who love laughing.
