About Me

I own and direct a skateboarding organization that runs after-school skate programs, skate camps, provides private lessons and skateboarding birthday parties. I am also a freelance make-up artist and work for MAC Cosmetics. I'm happy enough to piss you off and make you wonder, "Why the heck is she so darn happy?" Evil enough to scare you once in a while. Social, but independent. Love to Sk8, snowboard and support local bands from the South Bay.

My Interests

Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Punk Rock/Alternative Rock Concerts, make-up, working with children, myspace.com, listening to the radio, sleeping, Balderdash, Texas Hold'em, playing the piano. Please check out my company site http://www.180skateboarding.com.

I'd like to meet:

Other skaters and snowboarders; girls or guys, it doesn't matter. Rollerbladers need NOT apply. I mean that. Hot guys. Other people dedicated to the progression of women in the skateboarding industry and pushing the skateboarding industry forward as a whole. And anyone that wants to learn how to skateboard in So Cal.Hit me up if you like to go snowboarding in Mammoth, because I go almost every weekend and am always looking for a carpool. And pleeeeeze, at least write me a note first if you want me to add you as a friend, unless I already know you of course. I won't add you if I don't know you, so don't bother. Thanks! :-) AIM screenname: happytray.
