I am from a small town in New Jersey (USA). I have had gotten a good amount of life experience for being 20. I have lived in host families in Nice, France and Costa Rica. In Nice, I studied modern art and visited around 20 museums. In Costa Rica, I volunteered at a elementary school teaching dance and took Spanish classed. I have spent 2 months working on an organic farm in Hawaii. I attended an all girls boarding high school in New Jersey and spent most of my free time in NYC. I now study Textiles and Fashion Design at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

I am very interested in the arts and fitness. I am a full time design student but also have a job with Bodybuilding.com as a brand ambassador. I love making and seeing art of all kinds.
