About me.......hmmmmm.... I am a Scorpio!!! And for the most part I am pretty simple and self reserved (except for the few that know me well). I can adapt easily to any environment, and I am known to be super apologetic for everything! Most can say that is a weakness of mine, but in the end I know how to get what I want...
During the day I am an accountant at a Real Estate Development Corp, and at night I'm a professional Mambo/Salsa Dancer. Dancing is a huge part of my life right now, it's almost another full time job. I have no complaints, as I am able to travel the world and meet fabulous people. Traveling really humbles a person, I am thankful that I am in a position to do that right now.
I dance with Descarga Caribe Dance Company, based out of Chicago, IL under the direction of the Sekou McMiller. www.descargacaribedance.com
