July 2007

Currently, I am a writing major and double minoring in photography and philosophy minor at Emerson College. My hobbies include writing, photography, Irish step dancing, ballroom dancing, and Latin club dancing. Music is another strong passion of mine, and I play the guitar, piano, clarinet, autoharp, harmonica, bodhran, and pennywhistle. I'm also very involved with theatre and speech&debate.

Margarita night with my twin Heather (okay, actually her birthday is the day before mine. but don't we look alike?)

I speak English, ASL, German, French, some Latin and Spanish, and a tiny bit of Italian and Russian.

Career-wise, I have taken a semester off, but will hopefully being going back to my barista job at Starbucks come December. I've had my photographs published in the Dallas Morning News and used in advertisements for the First Baptist Church of Grapevine Special Needs Ministry and the Grapevine Chapter of HLAA.

Traveling is in my blood and what I want to do in life. I lived in Europe for four months last year, and take at least a couple trips overseas every year. The country count thus far: England, Germany, Azerbaijan, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia. I don't think I'm forgetting anything . . .
