I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm 23 years old, and I'm currently attending Western Washington University, working on my Bachelor's Degree in Human Services. I will graduate in the Summer of 2007. I graduated from Skagit Valley College (AA Degree) in 2006. I am very interested in reproductive health. I would love to work for Planned Parenthood upon graduation. I am also interested in chemical dependency/addiction, and may work toward obtaining a CDP (Chemical Dependency Professional) certification.
I'm an honest, trustworthy, and caring person who is easy to get along with. I don't enjoy communicating with people who think they are better than others, lie, are untrustworthy, or enjoy creating drama. My friends are a priority in my life, and I value their friendships. I am the type of friend who would pick you up in the middle of the night. I have old fashioned values, I'm respectful, and get along with just about anybody. Due to my musical tastes and personal values, I tend to get along very well with people who are older than me.
I listen to mostly rock music, but many types of it. I have a passion for older music, and have a large library of artists that I'm into. Music is a very important part of my life. I play Saxophone and sing in a classic rock band. I am also currently working on an album of original music with a talented artist and friend.
