I have 3 dogs(you’ll hear me refer to them as babies): Teddy (the Dad), Mia (the Mom), & Wiggy (My baby). Born in New York, moved to Texas around 8/9 yrs old. LOVE, LIVE & BREATHE Music. HUGE movie lover. ADORE books. Being surrounded by books is probably my favorite comfort. Barnes & Noble is my second home, pretty much.

Currently attending The Art Institute of Dallas to become a Web Designer. Don’t really party much, which is strange considering my age(24) cause everyone my age parties whenever they can but I like to fight stereotypes. I hate being what people expect me to be. I used to be a homebody, never liked to get out, now I’m the opposite, have to be away from home almost all the time, only there for sleep and that’s it. I’m a pretty laid back, down to earth kind of person. I used to be really shy and not talk to anyone but I think I broke out of my shell…I think. I used to be the silent nobody at the back of the room but I started to not care about what people think of me and that’s helped a lot. Plus, with the Web Design Industry, I can’t afford to be shy. I have to get out there and get work done.

When I go out, it’s just to chill and relax with some close friends and that’s it.

99.9% of the time you’ll see me with my headphones plugged in, listening to my music, ignoring everything around me cause music is more important and I like to visit LaLa land every now and then.

FAV FOOD: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, anything Asian, I’m happy.
