I'm currently a young professional living in the Allston neighborhood of Boston. Originally from North of the city I returned to Boston three years ago after studying and living in Virginia (tidewater area) for five years.

I currently work as an College admissions professional at Emmanuel College in the heart of Boston's Fenway neighborhood. My job takes me all over the world to work with high school students as they consider the next big step of attending university.

I enjoy finding all the beautiful nooks and crannies of this city from dive bars, to the best hole in the wall restaurants, and relaxing spots to enjoy a day outside.

I'm also an avid Boston sports fan and love attending games or events within the city.
