About Me

I'm just a sweet-loving girl who loves to experience life to the fullest. I'm latina - half Puerto Rican and half Ecuadorian. And basically for me, one of the most beautiful things in this world is making somebody smile and feel understood...what can I say, I'm a social worker!I'm a Rutger's graduate, currently working as a mental health care professional for Mount Carmel Guild in Union City. But before then: I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey. I lived in Miami for about 3 yrs, too hot there. I later went to school at Science High , where I spent some of the most crazy-wonderful times. I then attended Rutgers University in New Brunswick, where I also had some noteworthy moments, alot of which I will not discuss here! College was an extremely vital experience for me. I learned alot about myself and others, and I greatly appreciate those, during this time, who helped me experience life, love, and happiness to the fullest degree...you know who you are.I now plan to go for my masters in Social Work, to become a therapist, master my guitar, which I haven't touched in months, take dance lessons, and join some kind of atheletic club of some sort...I miss sports and being active. That's all for now. girls layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.com MyHotComments
