I'm really happy right now, things are going well. I've got family and friends that I love, I'm close to getting my Masters in Social Work, and most days I wake up with a smile on my face.

By day, I work at The Baltimore Child Abuse Center as a Family Advocate intern. I'll be graduating in May with a Masters in Social Work. My plan is to one day become a therapist specializing in trauma.

By night, my life is all about comedy and writing. I practice and preform improv with an amazing troupe.

Down time is spent with my close friends; watching movies, writing (I've got 35 chapters of a story written) and playing any kind of sport.

Looking past nonsense. It doesn't take me long to look at something and know what's up. A lot of that comes from "comic eyes". Taking the craziness of the world and putting it into stand up routines is rewarding and fun. I'm also a beast in the kitchen and I'm utterly convinced that my chocolate chip cookies are the best in the world.

Oh, and Table Tennis.

That I'm probably smiling, and the obnoxiously large feet.

Ok, going to try and not get carried away here as I'm a huge pop culture nerd.

What makes things funny, and big ideas like religion and political philosophy.

Also, hating myself for accidentally answering that the earth is bigger than the sun in these questions.

doing the same thing I do every night, trying to take over the world.

I'm an atheist, I cry easily in movies, I have a bizarre phobia of nose piercings, I had a humongous afro in high school, and I play the ukulele.

But really, I'll say anything to anyone.

You're a person. My mom always told me I was very special and everyone would love me. So, I'm doing the math here.
