About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bringing dreams to fruition

ABOUT ME

My character lies somewhere between shy and outgoing. While my feet are firmly planted in the ground, sometimes I like to let myself float away. I'm always striving for balance. I love making new friends and warm up to people very quickly.

PHILOSOPHY

I am learning that reality is what each person creates through their own choices and attitudes. Thus I choose to open myself to new experience, change and growth and to keep an attitude of gratitude for all the many gifts that life brings.
