About Me


I'm part clutz, nerd, and wuss. I'm just as much grace, hipster, and super-hero.I'm figuring out myself through figuring out the world. I live to learn. I usually learn by messing up. I improve myself through honest revision. If second chances don't manifest themselves, I create them.

dancing (jazz, hip hop, theater, breakbeat),
snow skiing/boarding,
Van Gogh,
pop-culture,

mexican food,

underground parties,
