I'm a So Cal native. Born near San Diego. Lived in Lakewood most of my life, but I basically grew up in Long Beach: Long Beach Poly High School, Long Beach City College, Long Beach State. Majored in Physical Therapy and made lifelong sisters in Alpha Phi Sorority. Been a vegetarian since 2001. Trying to convert to a vegan lifestyle. "Everyone loves a Catholic girl!" I LOVE my family. I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers, and a half-sister and brother (twins). I have 4 nieces and 3 nephews, and my other "nieces": Ella, Crystal, new baby Gracie, Allisen, Emily. Those kids (and my puppy), are my life! Raised to be open-minded, stand up for my beliefs, help others, and PROTECT LIFE: our unborn children, animals, and all "citizens of the world". Can't stand closed-minded people, prejudice, mean people, and those who drive slow in the fast lane. :) After college, I moved to Long Beach. Got a puppy, Bella, in 2003. She's my best friend. Worked for California Children's Services for over 8 years, doing pediatric physical therapy. Loved my job, loved my coworkers, loved my kids at work. So lucky!! Then... had a crazy past few years, and am now finding my new path in life. Decided to leave my job, and my city. Currently living in Riverside with my grandmother. My family and friends have been extremely supportive and I would not be here today without them. Now I dream of saving the world, and helping to protect our children and animals. Plan to stay in Riverside for a while, get my stuff together, find my balance, work a little, spend time with my grandmother, and visit home as much as possible. My future goals are to work as a humanitarian, activist, educator... To get outside myself, relearn my priorities, and help make the world a better place. I want to "follow my bliss". Eventually want to live out my life in Hawaii, where my soul leads me. To those I have lost along the way...Grandpa, Bill, Brian, and baby Alex. I love you, I miss you, and I hope someday I can make you proud. "I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it."
