About Me

i'm a graphic designer gone insurance broker. how does that work? well, i had a great time at school in philly and new york seemed the logical next step after graduation, so i packed it up and moved up here. i started out as a designer, but one thing led to another and i ended up doing the insurance thing.
new york is awesome, i've been here for over two years, i have great friends and have great times, but the sanity clock is ticking - i want to go back to design and back to philadelphia one of these days! i eventually want a little french bulldog, a pug and a boston terrier, and some kids one day, but right now travel and having a good time is my main focus.
i love that i can spend time with all of my special people at the same time, my boyfriend, my friends, my family, and his friends and family. we all get along and love each other so much. you can't beat that. life is beginning to look less and less uncertain, but still full of surprises and new experiences. it all comes at you so fast. you must make every day count!

karaoke birthday party: best birthday ever, best karaoke ever. i think i'm seeing a best everything ever pattern now in my life... it's about time!
went off without a hitch. thank you all so much for showing up! it was A LOT of hard work but it was worth every second of it.
