About Me

I try to be the most positive person I can be. I definitely live life to the fullest. I'm most happy when I'm traveling, doing new things, meeting new people..... I love seeing live music, watching the Sox or throwing parties.. I always try to keep things in perspective and focus on what I'm blessed to have rather than focus I what I don't. I love making new friends. I believe we can learn something from everyone we meet if we just open our minds... I generally try to inspire those around me and show them that there's still good people left in the world.
