About Me

My friends would say that I'm real, straightforward, a good listener and friend. I'm creative, funny, loyal, and dependable. Caring, loving, generous, and honest.

I keep busy, mostly with theater and graphic design stuff, though I also enjoy biking, skiing, camping, hiking in the summer. I like to be outside whenever I can and spending time with my boyfriend. It's about finding balance and experiencing all that life has to offer.
