About Me

I am a New Yorker in Florida...pretty common. Nothing like the Northeast, then again, there is nothing like having the sun and palm trees all year round. Slightly obsessed with work and keeping busy, however I also love to have fun, laugh and dance. I love soccer and tennis. Family and friends are #1 to me.I am goofy.I try to always say what's on my mind. Something I would love to change about me, but can't...clumsiness.
