About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To work in France

ABOUT ME

I am a very shy and quiet person until you get to know me. This is my first time living abroad. I am looking for new experiences and to get out of my comfort zone, breaking through my shy exterior.
I am the youngest child of 9 kids. I have 7 older sisters and 1 older brother.
I think life is wonderful and I enjoy meeting new people. I would like to work in a hotel in France in the future. Working in a hotel in the US helped me meet very interesting people. I have a passion for great customer service. To make someone feel welcome when they come from somewhere.

Interests

I really love to sing. I want to explore all the beautiful old stone churches in Europe and just sing, listening to the sounds echo from the stone.
I also enjoy writing. Writing is such a euphoric way of expressing one's inner soul. Taking emotion from life experiences and beautifully writing a book is wonderful.
Writing allows me to take the pain and joy of life and beautifully create anything I want. I enjoy writing about people's pain and although that sounds a bit morbid, the reason is because there is so much hope in the world. It's one thing to write about depressing things just for the heck of it, but when you write about sorrow and how one works through it to come out victorious over their inner demons, that is beauty to me.
I want to send a message in my books. There is always hope even though the path is darkened. Search for that light.
