About Me

Well, what to know about me....I'm in college, studying to be a nurse right now. My roommate and I have a cleaning company and I also work as a nurses assistant. I try to make time to do things I enjoy as often as possible to keep me sane! I love to dance, and it's a huge part of my life. Swing dancing is my current passion, and I plan on pursuing it as far as I can. I love to travel and explore new places. I like to live life to the fullest, and enjoy all the time I've got here. Try not to take things too seriously, and focus on having fun as much as doing the things I have to :)Here's a bunch of Portland swing dancer's rockin' out. I'm in the black skirt A "diversity" competition I did, I'm the one in the black dress and brace :) dancing with Hareesh (the guy in the blue shirt)

My Interests

swing dance, argentine tango, norwegian folk dancing, and german folk dancing, playing piano, French language and culture.

Interesting people that I never got to meet/haven't met yet

Music:

Everything, seriously. I really like swing music, but also like rock, ethnic music, etc.

Movies:

Office Space, Napoleon Dynamite, and the Indiana Jones trilogy

Television:

I'm really into Malcom Gladwell right now

Heroes:
