Well, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz in 2005 with an degree in Environmental Studies and a minor in Education. Oh how I miss Santa Cruz....so many good times there to look back on. Right now I am in graduate school at UC Santa Barbara getting a Masters of Environmental Science and Management. Im a baller for life... I played basketball at UCSC...it was and still is a huge part of my life! I like to rock out at a concert from time to time and enjoy some good mexican food. Im pretty laidback, love to meet new people and see new places. i am fan of horror flicks, chick flicks, and 80's movies. I love playing sports, chillin outdoors(im a big fan of hiking and camping), and laughing at the most random shit. I'm also a romantic to the core, or so i have been told, absolutely love animals...especially my puppy and my baby tortoise Tank! Last but not least....im in love and engaged to the greatest guy in whole world!! I love you Cort!!
