New music is on its way!!!

About Me

I was born and raised in Iowa----graduate of Northwestern College in Iowa. I now live in New York City. I LOVE NEW YORK!!! I love music & people and always try to live life to the fullest no matter where I am. I'm learning everyday more about who I am. I hope I am always constantly changing & growing. I love being around passionate people---even if it's not what I particularly love. It's good to be around people who are not just getting by but thriving. It inspires me. I'd love to know you better so don't be a stranger.

Beauty and the mess

I want to be a person who is totally present with people. A person who is genuine, honest, and opens my heart to people. Sounds all well and good but that creates the potential for a lot of beauty A...
