I love to do cake decorating. I love to go and hear live music. I like to read. I like to write. (A lot.) I memorize everything. This drives me crazy. I like to hang out with my friends and have roundtable discussions about how we're going to save the world. I like to travel, especially to New Mexico where my mom and lot's of my old friends live. I don't even need a map to get there. I love a good long roadtrip with my favorite mix CDs... I LOVE photography and fiction writing. Workshops. Never stop learning.

He is my biggest idol. I was a nanny for Virginia Madsen and Antonio Sabato Jr when they had their son, Jack. I love them like my very own family. I was also a nanny for Virginia's brother Michael, of Reservoir Dogs fame. My knees only shook for the first day, then I realized that, in real life, he is most like his character in Thelma & Louise- a total sweetheart. I worked for Willie Nelson as a photographer's assistant at Farm Aid 2,3,4 & 5. He really is as sweet as everybody says he is.
