ABOUT ME

i am a classically trained singer and artist.i teach art at a preschool. i am a music fanatic, very interested in expanding into new world music especially that of Asian influence. i come from a very large family (we exceed the brandy bunch by...a bunch) and i grew up in places where cows were a hot commodity.I now reside in center city Philadelphia. I currently attend Pennsylvania academy of the fine arts. i am a terribly busy person with three jobs and school, but would love to make time to meet a new face from another sector of this lovely planet! i don't do drugs, enjoy a drink once in a while, but prefer alternative sources of entertainment..the city is our oyster.

PHILOSOPHY

i live my life with the drive to always improve myself and the world i choose to surround myself with from with in, and with honesty.i am ever becoming more and more independent in my youth. my creativity, in which ever way i find to outlet it, is my beacon for growth and inner awareness. i try not to worry too much, though worriment can get the best of me at times. i love to live life and let the universe.
