...i walk up on high, and i step to the edge...

About Me

I'm from Hoover, Alabama and graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Public Relations and Marketing. I moved to New York a little over a year ago and am a booking agent assistant at Artist Group International. I love everything about being up here, but as they say ... you can take the girl out of Dixie, but you can't take the Dixie out of the girl! Auburn will always be my favorite place in the world - WAR EAGLE!
Music will be my eternal love. Even though I am often accused of being a music snob, the truth is that the music I like is actually just really good. :)
My favorite things are music, Auburn, people who keep in touch, being outside on a beautiful day, mac & cheese, lip gloss, New York smoking laws, potatoes, fluffy beds, sashimi, Saturdays in the fall and like-minded souls.
My least favorite things are people who say they like "everything" when you ask them what their favorite band is, walking past porta-potties and trash cans on the street, the cost of vodka in Manhattan, Chinese food, doing laundry and the TV timeout man at football games.

My Interests

Music, Auburn football, photography, travel, writing, old eerie things like the Titanic and Amelia Earhart, red shoes, people who smile a lot, making sound judgements about people with the music, movies and books listed in their profile weighing heavily on my decision.

I'd like to meet:

I finally met Ed Roland and my quest to meet my favorite musicians has thereby been fulfilled.
