About Me

I am a Southern California native who was born and raised on the beaches of Orange County. I've lived in New York City where I went to acting school and worked in some great restaurants. I have taken many a hiatus to Mexico (one for six months after 9/11). I speak Spanish fluently. I really enjoy traveling and seeing other cultures, but am also finding joy in staying in one place and building a foundation there. I love music, art, dancing, and any way to to let it all out! I have a great appreciation for food and wine. I want to have fun, learn, share and enjoy life. I am impressed daily by the people around me. I hope to grow more and more each day and become truer to myself and the world as I go. That's me.

My Interests

Music (listening, singing, playing the guitar), surfing, snowboarding, traveling, working out (yoga, swimming) relaxing in the sauna, steam room or jacuzzi, dancing, acting, sleeping, cooking, gardening, drawing, painting, good movies, talented people, good friends
