About Me

I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area (East Bay). I did my undergrad at UC Davis (4 years) and am now working on my Masters in City & Regional Planning at Cal Poly. I can't WAIT until I start working full-time so I can earn the green and not have any worries (homework) beyond the 9 to 5. It's so beautiful here in San Luis Obispo, on the central coast! The lush hills, the vistas, the beach, downtown! I love listening to all kinds of music; I love playing hockey, watching hockey; snowboarding; I love kickin back and watching movies, stand-up comedy; photography, and traveling! Half of my family is back in England and I'd love to visit again soon, I've also been all over the United States (Hawaii, Alaska, New York, Florida, Arizona, Nevada to name just a few), and to Mexico, the Netherlands, and Slovakia - can't wait to add more countries to the list! I love animals, especially my dog Jessi, and I couldn't live a day without my friends! =)"Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish" – Ovid."Rely on your own good judgement to lead you to success" – Jones Soda bottlecap."Never follow" - Audi."Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards" - Soren KierKegaard, Danish philosopher-theologian."All our dreams come true – if we have the courage to pursue them" - Walt Disney."You will never discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore" - Anonymous."If you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end" - Larry Bird."Skate to where the puck is going and not where it’s been" - Wayne Gretzky."If you think in positive terms you will get positive results.

Make big plans; aim high in hope and work" - Daniel Burnham and Edward H. Bennett, 1908.=)
