one step at a time...

About Me

I'm a 31 year old East Coast transplant living in sunny West Hollywood, CA. This place is very difference from home:) Originally, I'm from Maryland and studied computer science. Previously, I was an application developer and it made me feel SMOTHERED!!! Currently, I'm an Associate Partner at a very progressive Information Technology Consulting and Recruiting firm...and might I add...I LOVE WHAT I DO!! Someone once said..."find something you love and you will never work another day". More importantly, I've seen alot and done alot over the years...ALOT!!! But, I'm always looking to learn and experience more, because what knowledge is actually unnecessary? I respect and love being both a teacher and a student in EVERY aspect of life. Most of all I think I enjoy traveling and learning about different cultures. I love to learn. Did I say I love to learn? Only more to come! Anyway, I'm really versatile so I don't think I can fit a good description in this tiny box. I tend to get clostrophobic;) Sooo, with that being said....just ask me what you want to know:) Oh yeah...a fine skee-wee to all my pretty pink sorors out there:) Finally...to really know me is to understand, that I'd rather be hated for who I am, than to be loved for who I'm not.
