About Me

 

MY BACKGROUND

I am a native Texan, and attended college at Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX with a major in Psychology.

I moved to the NYC-area about ten years ago. For the past four years I have been living and working in Manhattan. I love living in Manhattan for the diversity, culture, and energy it provides.

My traits
