CURRENT MISSION

To take a break from the "normal" world and explore the real world!

ABOUT ME

I am adventurous, positive, social, outgoing, and always looking to make new friends and have a good time! I have a very diverse background, which allows me to adapt to new cultures and situations very easily. Basically, I get along with just about everbody, and am very accepting and welcoming of all lifestyles and cultures.

I am a former fashion model, current US licensed CPA (similar to a UK CA) and a trained and licensed chef. I modeled internationally in my teen years, began culinary school at 17 years old, and returned to school to pursue a Bachelors Degree in Business Economics degree at 21 years old. Now, I have decided that it is time to take a break from defined professional goals and to explore the world, and myself, so that I can figure out the next step in this journey of life.

I was born in raised in California by very eccentric, hippyish parents. They are both musicians and have always encouraged me to follow my dreams and believe in myself as they do.

I am lucky enough to have found my true soul mate, Tabre, who I am taking this journey with. He is my best friend and the most amazing person I have ever met.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 16, I ran away to London. I literally snuck my luggage out of the house, called a travel agent, and was in London the next day. Three days later, I took the chunnel to Paris, France, where I connected with a modeling agency, lived alone in a private studio right off the Champs-Elysee, and modeled for several months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, especially for other people, and love to teach others and trade cooking tips and tricks. Additionally, Tabre is a licensed bartender and makes delicious cocktails! I say we get together and throw a dinner party!
