ABOUT ME

I currently reside in the northern suburbs of ATL. I love my boyfriend, and my hood, and I am always up for anything. Hitting up a pub, checking out a park, you name it, I'm there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I know how to cook pretty well and would be happy to teach people how to make my favorite recipes. Also, if you feel you need to be a more aggressive driver I would be happy to teach you some aggressive driving skills ;-)

Learn: I love learning about different cultures and places I have never been. Any travel stories or interesting facts about different places I would love to hear about.

Share: Well I have a lot of great stories that I would be happy to share if you need a laugh. I also worked in a maximum security prison, in the psychology department, and love sharing my experience and stories from that.
