ABOUT ME
I am a hard working, passionate individual, dedicated to fostering community programs and development. I spend a substantial amount of time volunteering to produce events, write proposals, and assist in artistic exhibitions. Professionally, I am an Architectural Lighting Designer, and I have worked on large projects involving Commercial, Industrial, Hospitality, Entertainment, and many other practice areas. I am reliable, trustworthy, responsible, and respectful; and I know how to have fun!
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Design and Production, and some other qualifications as well. I am being considered for returning to school in September for Law, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, where I obtained my Bachelor's.

Interests
I spend a lot of my time volunteering in the community, supporting the arts community. Seeing people come together, share ideas, and go away with a sense of accomplishment, achievement, and enlightenment gives me a sense of satisfaction with my work and my life. Refreshing and renewing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The trees in Vancouver, BC, when I first arrived, I had thought they were fake. The trees are massive, bulbous, and have a hard, continuous texture - unlike any of the trees I had seen in the East. It's a result of the temperate, rainy climate, but it had me going around feeling all the trees to see if they were real. UBC also has the Nitobe gardens, which is where my profile picture is taken - a serene and beautiful garden. I don't claim to understand most of biology or ecology, but I have a deep appreciation for it. Nature is amazing!
Waterfalls and Hot Springs in the mountains here are also moments where I was awestruck - combine that with an outdoor event full of art and community gatherings - WOW!
