I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


What do I say but I am about as eclectic as the songs I listen to  def a people person and learn a lot from the people that wander in and out of my life; am fiercely loyal with enduring friendships; love to laugh, and laugh often  think we probably take life too seriously most of the time; and yet heres where I walk with one foot in two perspectives (an ENFP trait!!!), b/c I think about things pretty deeply. I love my family and friends, my dog, reading, movies, music and musicals, traveling, cardio-kick boxing, the people of God, JC, and for you who are dying to know  my favorite ice cream is butter pecan!
