About Me

I'm a graduate student in anthropology and education at Columbia University. I want to teach public health abroad and I am thinking of going for my MPH when I am done with my MA ( hopefully at Columbia or Berkley.) I graduated from the University at Buffalo with my BA in anthropology. I am from Buffalo and just moved to Astoria last July. I have two cats who I love their names are Laney and Sammy. I have a boyfriend whom I love very much. He lives in Buffalo right now and I can't wait until he comes to the city to live with me!

My Interests

I love to read, when I get a chance. I like to travel, I have been to Cuba, Honduras and Puerto Rico and wish to go to Europe, Japan and pretty much everywhere else on the Earth! I am also very into fashion. Some of my favorite designers are Pucci, Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Furstenburg, Prada and Chanel, amongst others. I like to eat too!!!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wants to talk!

Music:

I am into U2, Radiohead, Bjork, The Pixies, The Smiths, Morrisey solo stuff, Portishead, Lauren Hill, The Roots, Joy Divison, Tori Amos, Talking Heads, Bowie, REM, PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Belle and Sebastian, Lennon, Beth Orton, The Cure, Coldplay, No Doubt ( I love Gwen!), Blondie and (My guilty pleasure) Justin Timberlake. I highly suggest the "Lost in Translation" soundtrack...That is all I have been listening to recently.

Movies:

I really like foreign movies with subtitles, especially spanish movies. I like Pedro Almodovar's movies the most. I really liked Lost in Translation. Basically I like anything that doesn't have a lot of special effects and big over the top plot lines, like Lord of the Rings. I really like real movies about real emotions. I like Sundance films and other independent stuff too.

Television:

Well, mostly I like the usuals, like Friends, Will and Grace, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under and I like Gilmore Girls ( I know its for teenagers and stuff but I still like it!) I watch a lot of the Style channel, and the BBC. I love love love Absolutely Fabulous and that is on the Oxygen channel now, but I also have the DVD's

Books:

Right now I am reading "Life of Pi", but my favorite is "The Bell Jar", by Sylvia Plath

Heroes:

My Brother, My Mom, My Dad, My friend Kim and My boyfriend Yamil
