CURRENT MISSION

Keep happiness while finding the courage to go after my dreams =)

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm an art student. I've spent the last 3 years as a painting major and am currently in the Communication Design program. Hoping to be a communication director/own my own shop ( or something of that sort).

I can be a little shy at first but I love seeing people laugh and smile and I love conversationalists! I really enjoy dancing too. I like trying new things and always try and talk myself into doing so. Culture is really an amazing thing and so I really like meeting new people from all walks of life!
I say whats on my mind, but i'm pretty open minded, I notice small personality quirks, I'm a great listener. I enjoy being busy and sometimes I think I like doing day activities more than night but both are great!
I really love images or even things out in the world that give off a sense of beauty or nostalgia. I am constantly curious about the factors that play together to form this.

PHILOSOPHY

Live with the 3 E's - energy, enthusiasm, empathy.

Balance is key!

"You have a brain and two feet - these can take you anywhere" - Dr. Sues

“I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.”
— Albert Einstein

Music, Movies, and Books

music: indie, electro, dub, dance...anything from tennis, tanlines, dana del ray, BON IVER, beirut and florence and the machine to pretty lights, JOTS, Grimes, etc.

Movies: Hate horrors, mystery is ok...I like typical sappy girl films like the Notebook and strange controversial documentary's like Catfish and fun time films like Midnight in Paris. I really just like a good Narrative. =)

Books: too many!! recently I read Swarm and it got me into whales.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure if this is so amazing but I've visited the Azores in Portugal and learned to speak portuguese before I spoke English. However, since I've attended school in English all my life I think in English but understand Portuguese so well that I translate it almost instantly without noticing. Sometimes fun!
