ABOUT ME

Born and raised in New England, I decided to move to Texas for college so that I could explore a new part of the US. I just graduated from University of Texas with degrees in English and urban studies. My car's license plate has a grapefruit on it. I love traveling, getting to know new places, people, and food.
