About Me

I'm a 23 year old graduate of Loyola Marymount University. I graduated December 2005(a semester early). Currently I live in Fasion Valley with a couple friends. I love life, hanging out with my friends, going out, my job (seriously), working out, going to concerts, singing at my church back home in Claremont when I'm there, meeting new people and oh so much more.I work for Karl Strauss Breweries - a San Diego based brewery and restaurant company. I do accounting for them - I've been doing corporate accounting since 2004 when I worked for a national law firm. Work is a blast - I have some of the coolest coworkers and my office is a really chill place to work.San Diego living is amazing amounts of fun. Pacific Beach is my typical hang out area. Gotta love things like Taco Tuesdays at Freds, 80's Wednesdays at Typhoon or any night at Typhoon and all the other fun bars/clubs in PB and downtown. Of course a good movie or game nights are a blast as well.If you curious to know more - just ask. I'm pretty damn open about myself...
