About Me

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the places and moments that take our breath away." I grew up between California and Nevada and really feel at home in the West. For now, I live in the Seattle area. I have lots of friends and a huge family and I try to spend as much time as possible with them. These are the people who inspire me and make me laugh. Traveling to new places really excites me...I went to Israel last summer and Europe this summer. I've gained a lot of perspective on different cultures and they've influenced the way that I want to live. I like to be spontaneous and daring and I really feel alive when my adrenaline is flowing! I am pretty even tempered (unless you really try to piss me off!)and have a healthy outlook on what I want out of life... To have fun and enjoy every moment for what it is!
