My Interests

I love salsa and dance on the USF Salsa dance team.I like everything that is fun, allows me to make a difference, or helps me to grow as a person. I am in love with music & dancing. I sing, play piano & some guitar. I also enjoy learning languages, Spanish in particular (which I plan to be fluent in someday soon). I love my family, my friends, and my two pets, Daisy & Snowflake. I believe that life is what you make it. :-)

I'd like to meet:

Oprah, India Arie, Tony Robbins, Amos Lee, Sylvia Browne, anyone who lives their life to the fullest and finds meaning in inspiring others.
