I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I have lived in Philly for 7 years. I got my undergrad degree in Liberal Arts at Temple. Now I am finishing up my Masters in Elementary Education at Drexel. I am very excited to be done with school after going straight (pretty much) for 20 years. That's crazy! I think I choose the right career, though. I can't imagine anything being more rewarding than teaching kids! I a single mother of my beautiful toddler, Simone. She is amazing. She makes me laugh like crazy everyday. There's nothing that I would rather do than be with her. No one knows how to have a dance party like Simone! Right now my mantra is: be patient.

My Interests

I enjoy being with my daughter, first and foremost. Besides that I love to write, mostly poetry. I also really vibe off of reading great poets, St. Gerard is my very favorite! I also enjoy spending time with my friends, cooking, baking, and having dinner parties. I like to hang at coffee shops if I ever have the time and always enjoy a good read. I love to have stimulating and real conversations with open-minded people. I thrive off of doing Yoga and meditating. I also love to dance around in my kitchen while rockin out, especially with Simone. I can't forget going out to yummy restaurants and interesting bars, drinking red wine, and enjoyin almost 5 cups of green tea a day. My newest hobby is playing poker.
