ABOUT ME

I am an Interior Design student at Appalachian State University. From the age of 2 weeks until I was 7 I lived in Alleluja, Costa Rica. I then spent the rest of my childhood and teenage years in the town of "Mayberry" (Mount Airy). I went to Meredith College in Raleigh for 2 and 1/2 years. I then made one of the biggest and best decisions of my life and transferred to ASU.

I actually asked my friends what they think of me and this is what they have said,
Carlie Smith, "Fun & outgoing."
Alex Love, "You're a fun loving, positive, outgoing, beautiful being."
Hannah Massey, "You're a fun person and you love people."
Dillion Panzanella: "You are a funny, smart, outgoing, active, friendly, and easy to get along with."
Bobby Furmage, "Great host, smart, creative, open minded, and driven."

PHILOSOPHY

"Taste is relative, but to be positive and vital it must respect the past, accept the present and look forward with enthusiasm to the future."
Eleanor McMillen Brown, Sixty Years of Interior Design

"Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will land among the stars." - Unknown

I feel that it is important for people to experience good food, travel, and cultures. Its one of the best ways to grow as a person and learn who you are and who you want to become. No one ever stops growing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to have a CouchSurfing Experience. I am a newbie but excited for my first experience.

Interests

In my free time outside of studio's I find myself skiing, reading, horseback riding, riding bikes, exercising, and occasionally painting. I really enjoy traveling but with one more year of school left I am limited to where I can go. I enjoy looking and interpreting artwork. I believe that I have become extremely addicted to coffee... Without one cup a day I don't feel like I can function properly. My Family and my friends are extremely important to me. I enjoy meeting people and having lots of laughs. I like to dance and sing for the fun of it (because I am terrible at both).
