I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Currently, I'm a student at The University of Memphis majoring in Finance with a minor in Real Estate. I love hanging out with my friends and family! I'm so lucky to have such wonderful people in my life who all impact me in a positive way. Anyone that has carried on more than a 10 minute conversation with me will know what I'm highly ambitious with big dreams. There's just so much do and so much to live for (although sometimes I forget). I've experienced the curve balls that life will throw you, and they suck - but in the end everything happens for a reason and it is probably all for the best."Constantly question, test ideas, and seek proof"

My Interests

I love to travel! My dream job would be to explore the world and learn about different cultures and customs. So far, I've traveled to Thailand, Japan, Australia, Canada, and several places across the nation. I also love being surrounded by natural beauty.Something most people do not know about me is that I'm an artist. I have paintings displayed in Memphis, and have sold paintings to clients in the past. I really enjoy painting, but it's hard to find time for it right now. Maybe later in the future.
I own two wonderful dogs. Yes, they are Pit Bulls. I know the statistics are against me, but they are the most loving and loyal dogs I have ever owned. Their names are Mimi and Lola. They like to sleep in and eat alot. We get along GREAT!I love the performing arts! Cirque du Soliel is ultimately my favorite and I'm going to see every single show they put together! My favorite so far is "O" at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. It's absolutely mind blowing!I work hard, and I try to play just as hard. I'm not a materialistic person but I do reward myself with nice things. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I'm not crazy about high end fashion...I just want to look nice - don't really give a damn where it comes from.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet just about anyone! However, I do not like drama and can not stand people that are immature or self absorbed. Life is complicated enough as it is and there are millions of people out there so why keep the ones you can't stand in your presence? No, thank you.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

I can listen to just about anything. Favorites would include John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Norah Jones, Late Night Alumni, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, T Pain, Kanye West, a variety of DJ's, and country when the mood calls for it. I love dancing to techno/trance and sleeping to lounge music.Music is a big part of my life.

Books:

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki See you at the Top by Zig ZiglarAlong with motivational books, financial magazines, and of course, the tabloids you get in the check out lane in the grocery store.

Heroes:

My family members are my heros. I'm the luckiest girl in the world! I would not trade my family for anything. My parents have always believed in me. I really admire their strength, and I want nothing more than to make them proud of me.
As a child, I grew up in a small house with three other families. My cousins and I shared EVERYTHING! We didn't have much then, and now we're so far from where we used to be. My cousins and I never take a single moment we get to spend together for granted. Our relationship as my cousin puts it is "The strongest love of all!" Blood will always be thicker than water.

Everything Happens for a Reason

I've always believed that everything happens for a reason, but sometimes it's really hard to come to understand why. Life lessons are best taught through experience. (Well they are for me atleast.) M...

Have you ever been in love?

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up al...
