About Me

I love having fun. Movies, I play just about every sport out there. I LOVE DANCING. It's my passion. Merengue, Bachata, Reggae, Salsa, Hip-Hop, R&B, Club. I can get down if you can and I'll be the ice breaker at parties if I have to. If it's got a beat, then I've got the rhythm. I love having a good time, I can be a fun Bugout and I'll do wild things at times but never anything that's going to harm me or anyone I'm close to. I can be wild, but I'm very mature when it's asked for. I'm cultural, I like to go to poetry slams at the nuyorican, go see plays, musicals and artwork. I'd also like to say that I'm quite the chef. (and I don't just mean Macaroni and cheese).I work full time to pay my own way to go to school full time. I can hold a good convo on just about any topic and do a great job at listening and understanding situations so that I may provide great advice for those in need, hence the pursuit of a psychology career.
