About Me


I love to laugh. It's my favorite thing to do. Not just the haha funny joke laugh. But that roll on the floor, stomach hurt, tears coming down your eyes laugh.
I love to dance. Nothing organized, just pure feeling the music, lettin your body loose, gettin hyphy dancing.
I love to learn. About anything and everything. I want to go to school forever and become an expert in everything.
I love to sing. Out loud. Sometimes it sounds bearable, most times it doesn't and I always get the lyrics wrong.
I love to be random and try new things. Im usually always down for an adventure.
I love Photography. Fancy SLR's to my trusty Digi, Black and White or Color. I love to taking pictures of people and capturing those classic moments.
I love to help people. It is the highlight of my life.
I am all for social justice through social change
I am also going to be something great one day even if you never see me in a magazine or on T.V.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light , not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.... And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. -Marianne Williamson
My goal in life is work with at-risk youth and their families to help them establish themselves so that they too can have access to opportunities that will help them live a successful life. How? Well thats what I am going to grad school for...
