Designing, dreaming, creating. I'm currently a graphic designer in a publishing house. I'll be starting grad school full-time in July to become an art teacher. In the meantime, I'm taking it day-by-day enjoying time with my friends and family.

Organizing things, making up back-stories while people watching, cooking, and planning adventures.

I'm a tall, blonde that usually stands out and I'm not afraid to rock it in a pair of heels (which would put me over 6'0). I also have a pretty loud laugh with a big personality.

Books- I read everything I can get my hands on. Currently, I'm on suspense, but I also have a stack of memoirs, cookbooks, and self-help on my bedside table.

Movies-Documentaries are my very favorite. I started making a list of all the ones I loved, but I ran out of paper. I also enjoy romance and humor: Under the Tuscan Sun, Love Actually, Pride and Prejudice, Stepbrothers, Willy Wonka, Mary Poppins, to name a few.

Shows-I don't have TV in my apartment, but my favorite shows are Sex in the City, Project Runaway, Game of Thrones, and Dexter. I also got sucked into LOST. I am a huge fan of shows with character development and several story lines intertwined at the same time.

Music-Whatever strikes the mood. Favorite artists are probably Aretha Franklin, Christina Aquilera, Kat Edmonson, Regina Spektor ... I like a woman with a strong voice. I also enjoy Jack Johnson, Ray Charles, Ben Folds (saw him live with the symphony, incredible concert), the list goes on and is really all over the place.

Food-Sweet potatoes, sourdough bread, extra-sharp cheddar cheese, Skippy Natural peanut butter, salad, I recently started eating a mostly vegetarian diet. I prefer to eat at only local restaurants. If you love Applebee's and McDonald's, we are probably not the best match. Favorite cuisines: Greek, Mexican, Spanish, Thai, and Ethiopian. I also try to cook as much as possible and make two new recipes per week! I am very open to trying new things. I also shop at the Farmer's Market every week.

People, love, what my ideal day-to-day life would be like, where I want to live, where I want to travel, how to be a better person. My mind only shuts off when I'm asleep, and even then I have crazy dreams sometimes.

Usually at home relaxing with dinner and a movie after my volunteer shift at the Children's Hospital. I facilitate an art therapy session with the patients. It is my favorite time of the week.

I saw the Katy Perry documentary and it was by far, my favorite film of the year. I would deny that if asked.
