About Me

I'm an upbeat, fun-loving, smart, and sometimes sassy person. I love meeting (and helping) people. I'm super close to my family, my extended family (SB & AST), and my friends. I'm a procrastinator at heart and I'm always late but I really try not to be! I'm loyal, and I am rational to a fault. I moved from MI to CA two years ago and it was one of the scariest experiences of my life, it has also been one of the most rewarding. I work in the Admissions Office planning the open house and admitted student events for UCSB. Not exactly sure what my future holds... I want to pursue a Masters degree in Higher Education Administration or College Student Personnel some place new after I have given Cali a chance or possibly get certified in event planning and be an event planner at a ski resort all year round (woohoo to free skiing!) =)

My Interests

being with my family and friends, learning to speak Spanish, reading, skiing!, meeting new people, walking dogs at DAWG, Does going to Zodo's count?, swimming, camping, puzzles, board games, volunteering, traveling, Grad School someday, going to concerts! getting a tan (after living in MI!), taking pictures

I'd like to meet:

old friends and new ones...My Favorite Quote:"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." ~Alan Cohen

How small is the world really?  Ok so although I often run into people I know wherever I go, I never really thought the world was that small.  For example, I saw the boyfriend of one of my o...
