I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

First things first, my name is Courtney. I'm a photographer and I'm pretty much obsessed with art and music. Starting in the fall, I'll be working on my degree in Photography at UD (aka University of Dayton). Not only am I excited about being at a new school, but I'm also ready to get close to finally graduating. Ha! Anyhoo... that's the cliff notes version of things about myself for you. If you want to know more, feel free to message me.

My Interests

I have lots of interests, but not necessarily enough time for all of them. Some of the things that I’m most interested in are art, photography, music, walking around in the snow, driving around aimlessly, going to shows, visiting museums, hiking, and hanging out with friends. Of course these are not the only things I’m interested in, but I figured I would keep this list short… save you some time so you don’t have to read through a huge list of all the random things I enjoy.

I'd like to meet:

People. Preferably interesting people... not just people who are looking to sell me ringtones, try to get me involved in a pyramid scheme, or any other annoying thing like that. Also, if you are a band, check out my photography myspace page... I am more likely to add you as a friend on that one. Thanks!
