CURRENT MISSION

I'm about to start at a new job with the facilities management team at a private school in Manhattan. I'm moving from Michigan to NYC and am looking to meet some cool interesting people while I find a sublet or permanent home.

ABOUT ME

I love acoustic, classical and folk music, painting, reading, playing ukulele, guitar and a variety of other instruments. I love sports such as futbol, basketball and tennis. I like to dance, I like to chill. I'm a foodie who will make you delicious smoothies. I love life and love meeting new people. I'm so excited to live in NY and want to meet interesting people there!

Im a respectful and cool roommate. I have always had roommates and have lived very well in cooperative situations. I don't smoke, am clean, and am focused on my goals of finding a permanent place to stay in NY, professional success, and artistic expansion and productivity.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about loving well and working well. I love to create music, visual arts, and establish friendships. I care for my body mind and spirit and take great pleasure helping others do the same.
