About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
25-year old crushing it in the Greatest City on Earth, Boston, Massachusetts. I recently completed a Masters Degree in Biostatistics at UMass-Amherst and currently work at New England Research Institutes in Watertown, MA. I'm currently loving life and getting out of debt... but we'll see how long that lasts.
I love the Red Sox and HATE the Yankees. I love the Pats and Hate T.O. I love everything about New England except those transplanted Yankee fans who root for them to feel better about their shortcomings in their own lives. There are few Yankee fans that I can tolerate and they all happen to be female for whatever reason.
My favorite things to do in my spare time are listening to music and playing sports (b-ball, soccer, baseball).

I get along with everybody that matters to me. Hopefully those same people agree. I have no enemies that I know of. If you feel that you are one... then let me know and I will be sure to make your life even more miserable than it already is... jk... but seriously lighten up!!!

My Interests

Lifetime Goals:
To one day quote Dave Chappelle "I'M RICH, BITCH!!!" and not be lying.
