About Me


NYC, the city that never sleeps, just ask the bar/cafe owner that lives directly below me and plays bass music until the wee hours of morning ;) Doug and I are living and loving Astoria! We have a guestroom if you ever need a place to crash :)
My post-pageant life--I am working in the city as an Administrative Assistant for a hedge fund-- It's actually exactly what I need right now. Enjoying a regular schedule and a normal life. It's been amazing.
I am also a youth suicide prevention advocate. I am a community organizer for the Suicide Prevention Action Network and have spent most of my year as Miss CT 2005 advocating and preventing suicide through education. I am volunteering as a crew member for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Out of the Darkness walk. This one is HUGE and so inspirational. I highly recommend it if you have lost someone to suicide or just support this worthy cause. For more info visit my fundraising page. Help me raise my goal of 1,000! https://www.theovernight.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=extranet.p ersonalpage&confirmid=10008360
I am also singing on July 19th at the SPAN USA opening ceremonies in DC. It’s a beautiful touching event. Come join me! For more info: www.spanusa.org or my personal website at: www.preventyouthsuicide.org
As for my musical life...I am recording an album produced by JAY DEASEL. It’s a country rock contemporary styles...think Miranda Lambert meets Kelly Clarkson. I am so happy with the way it is turning out! I simply cannot wait to share it with you all. The album should be finished by August so stay tuned for some serious CD release parties in NYC, CT, and TN :) Also, my new myspace music site and newly designed website should be coming in the next couple of months!

My Interests

music, writing, good inspirational books, long vacations in places where the beach water is clear blue, good comedy, Beauty products--hair make-up whatever. Sephora is my heaven. I AM A TOTAL PRODUCT JUNKIE--I know more about beauty products than anyone I know... At the risk of sounding like a ditz--shopping. It is my cure all--I like to call it retail therapy.

I'd like to meet:

Something that is SO obvious but apparently it must be said :)

Some people might think others have nothing better to do than sit around and contemplate their life choices but the truth is, we are all doing our own things. All of the people I know worry about maki...

People can be so cruel

I am feeling pretty upset at the moment--and it isn't even about anything anyone has done to me or something I have done to someone else. I guess I just wanted to post something to say this:   If...

For the record, I was not on Deal or No Deal

In the last week, I have had at least twenty people (many of them have seen me before) tell me they saw me on Deal or No Deal. For the record, you did not see me on Deal or No Deal. You also did not s...
