CURRENT MISSION

To live life for what it is, not what I expect it to be.

ABOUT ME

I'm sarcastic, I'm witty, I tend to try to make the best of a bad situation and I like to laugh (A LOT). I can be shy and reserved or completely outrageous; I tend to not edit myself, which can sometimes get me in trouble. I like to be challenged with new things and be spontaneous but I also like order with my chaos. Did I mention I love to laugh? I also love coffee, good beer, hanging out with great friends, concerts, cooking, board games, books, road trips and meeting new people. Sometimes I have a hard time sitting still. Other times; I love to be quiet and read a good book. I spend a lot of time being social with friends and taking road trips when I get the chance. I have a full-time job and live my life for what it is and not what I expect it to be. I enjoy my life and my friends and I am always looking for new friendships with those who challenge me to live and laugh on a higher level.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The transformation of my parents in my own eyes. Seeing them as who they are and knowing that I'd still be friends with them if they weren't my parents.

Teach, Learn, Share

I talk a lot about relationships, social skills and etiquette. Really, I'm always interested in talking about interpersonal skills and love learning about people's childhoods and how it made them who they are today. I'm one curious cat.

I'm also really good at organizing special events.
