About Me

I was born and raised in Texas, Texan proud! In August 2005, I moved to NYC for school (Nursing), although I'm also here for reasons aside from school. College: University of Houston, TX (Music major, minor in English, 2003), currently attending the Long Island University-Brooklyn campus, (Brooklyn, NY), working towards a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing (B.S.N.)

Music is my life, now more than ever! I am a violinist, have been my whole life, and can't imagine my life without playing. I recently became an official member (actually, I'm a "fember" - fan turned member) of the band HUGH MANN & THE BEINGS, with whom I play violin/fiddle, drums, bass, keys, and sing, and I've been having a BLAST!!! (Check em out below!) I do freelance work when I can, and I used to sing with Opus Ensemble of NY, but we're on a hiatus at the moment.
Currently, I work with a temp agency who has places me regularly @ MTV and its affiliates (subsidiaries of Viacom). Right now I'm working at MTV International, Strategy and Business Development. I've been with my agency for almost 2 years now. It works, for now. Between the band, school, work, & Clinical training (working at a hospital for experience/school, not $$), I study A LOT, party when I can, hang out with my wonderful dingo, Shasta, and use whatever time left over (if any) to sleep...
I consider myself extremely blessed to be friends with some pretty amazing musicians, and one of my favorite things to do besides playing music is just kicking back and embracing live music. Luckily, I'm in NYC, surrounded with music and art and beauty... and a gazillion people giving off an energy that I haven't found anywhere else... It's fan-damn-TASTIC!!! I LOVE THIS CITY!!!

You scored as Idealist. Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.
