About Me

Well, I guess the simplest description is that I'm a dancer/artist/capoeirista. But, since I've never been one to let things stay simple: I'm also both an optimist and a cynic, painfully insecure and horribly vain, very extroverted and extremely shy. I tend to be very blunt (sometimes to a fault). I also feel things very deeply, which means that I laugh a lot and I cry a lot. When I want something, I really want it, and when I care, I really care. I talk really fast and sometimes, too much. I want to dream and create things that inspire people to think and to change. Oh, and just on a random note, two of my favorite things in the world are watching fireworks and anything that has to do with Batman. As far as official stuff goes, I am currently a company member and (soon to be) choreographer with Perpetual Motion/Modern Dance Oklahoma, as well as an instructor at the School of Ballet Oklahoma & DanceUnlimited Performing Arts Center.--
You Are 62% Evil
You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot. How Evil Are You?
