I am a 31 year old female-----grew up in IL, went to college in NC, spent the last 5 years studying music privately in NY----and just now moved to Orlando to sing with a small company and gain some experience. I guess you could say I like to move around a lot------Well, that's not exactly true. I'm just willing to move about anywhere to take steps to be able to sing. I'm kind of a work-a-holic-----so I often don't have a lot of time for dating-----------but sometimes I get tired of being alone---and wonder how it might be to have someone else to support me-----I don't necesarily mean financially----just to have a positive person on my corner---to cheer for me----who cares about me, regardless of how my career is doing.

I'm trying to follow my dream of becoming an Opera singer. I've been in NY for the last 5 years, now I am in Orlando, singing with a small company---trying to gain some experience.

working with kids----I've worked in childcare in some capacity (nanny, babysitting agency, substitute teacher) for more than 10 years.

I'm extremely shy-----atleast at first. I know that may seem funny----when I work in a performing field-----I'm not shy to perform for hundreds of people, but off the stage, I am very shy. If you ask me questions, I'm pretty open and honest-----but if you just say----tell me about yourself------I won't have much to say, especially on a first date.

books: anything written by Jodi Picoult

movies: Fried green tomato, the green mile, Rent,

shows: most of my favorite shows have long been off the air, such as Sisters, Brothers and Sisters, Any day Now, or Strong Medicine.-----I think Parenthood is one of the few shows that I currently watch

coffee
ice-cream (well, I could live without it, but I LOVE ice-cream)

Will I ever get where I want to be as an Opera singer?

Will I ever settle down and get married?
