About Me

Don't gain the world and lose your Soul
You be free to be you, and I'll be free to be me.
Recent UCI grad, currently dance for UrbanFX, proud alumni of Breed and CADC.
I grew up in Orange County and I'm proud of it. There's nothing like home. But San Diego is where I've decided to begin my young adult life and I've gotta say it's been a phenomenal move for me. I like people who are down for their loved ones, unconditionally. I like people who without hesitation, can laugh freely at themselves. I love inside jokes. I love cultures and travel and experiencing as much as the world has to offer. One of the best things my mom ever told me was to take advantage of any opportunity there was to see a different part of the world so that I could learn to think bigger and better. The more you see and experience, the broader your perspective becomes. I need constant stimulation. I crave independence but there's not much better than good companionship. I have ownership of everything that I do and everything I do is done for me, by me. I hate conversations about money. I love articulation, but actions will always speak louder than words. I love food. I can be super serious and I can be goofy beyond recognition. I work hard to play hard. I'm sentimental to the point where it gives me grief. I'm a realist. I'm eager to learn...don't confuse exposure with knowledge. I'm more pessimistic than I like to admit. I'm difficult to approach initially, but once I let you in, I will be the most loyal person you've ever met in your life. I love to surround myself with people where nothing has to be done or said for a connection to be understood between them and me. I've made mistakes, I've been rejected, I've failed, but I have no regrets. I don't believe in regret.
" When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say 'I used everything You gave me'"
