About Me

Lemme see... To start, my life is anything but 'ordinary'. I'm a twenty-something Political Science/Public Relations student in Atlanta. I'm usually up to something worth telling stories about later, like trips to Nashville for national conventions or weekends by the pool with my best friends. Those days always dissolve into something enjoyable. Ah... good times.
I'm also a notorious 'Political Junkie.' I very much love anything and everything that has to do with the American electoral system and all involved. My first taste was working as the director of my universities operations for the Hillary Clinton campaign. Once my palate was whet, there was no going back. I was elected Treasurer for the KSU Democrats in 2007. In 2008, I mounted my biggest campaign to date and won the office of the Young Democrats of Georgia's (YDG) Stonewall Chair. My responsibilities include organizing GLBT youth across Georgia into being energized, and informed, about the issues affecting our community and thusly making informed voter decisions.
Born and raised in Miami, I'm a beach junkie. Gimme an excuse to get near sand and I'm there...

My Interests

I'm interested in trying everything in life once. The Fun stuff twice. The great stuff over and over and over... I'm interested in almost anything within reason. I'm as at home walking an art gallery with a glass or wine as I am camping in the mountains with an imported beer and not showering for two days. Sitting at home with a book at night is defiantly not a bad option either. Life is for running, making a quiet commotion. Having an amazing time!
