About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to meet new and exciting people, have great conversation, and travel the world while doing it.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel-- I mean love it! The good and the bad! Whether a luxury resort overlooking the ocean in the British Virgin Islands or an unexpected 8 hour drive through the mountains of Mexico, I don't mind of any of it. I see everything as a new expereince, and an opportunity to learn about cultures and people that I otherwise would only hear/read about in the local news.

I currently work in Human Resources for a private hospital in NYC-- that's the boring part. I'm also a professional Latin Dancer,and have toured in many parts of the world (to perform and teach).

I am fluent in English and in Spanish, and am intermediate in Portuguese. My next goal is to be able to converse in Italian...

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still formulating it, but thus far, I know that I love to create great experiences for people. Whether onstage dancing, or in the kitchen experimenting, I'm always dreaming up a way of getting people together, and doing something that will leave a lasting memory.
