i've been living in nyc for just about 10 years now. i graduated from FIT and have been putting my degree to good use working in the fashion industry. i'm currently buying for a mens brand, working in the fashion district.

i moved to Astoria in May 2011. before that i was living in hells kitchen. i hate moving and love my new neighborhood so i'm hoping this is home for a while.

i grew up on long island and my family is still out there so i try to visit often. i also love bringing my dog out to my parents b/c they have a huge yard for her to run around.

i have a shih tzu, her name is penny. i adopted her shortly after moving to Astoria. she's pretty amazing.

i love to eat.

i try to stay fit with running and a little bit of weights.

i text too much.

i talk really loud.

i'm funny.

you would never know how funny i am or how loud i talk b/c i'm usually very shy when i first meet anyone.

i keep a close group of friends.

broccoli and spinach are my favorite vegetables.

i love spicy food. i love flavor.

i'm not very spontaneous...but trying to be.

i just used my passport for the first time this past summer (2012).

i love m&m's

the list goes on...

i spend my time working, having fun with my friends, and hanging out with my family when i can.

i love playing with my dog especially on lazy days around the house and neighborhood.

i love my job and i'm ready to focus a bit more on my love life. the past few months have made me realize how much i'm ready for something serious.

i like to think i'm good at making people laugh. i mean i can't do it on command but i have a fairly fun loving, silly, ridiculous sense of humor.

i like to think i'm really good at my job ;)

i'm a good listener and i've been told i give good advice.

my smile, i'm very shy when I first meet people but i think my smile speaks for itself. i've also been told my eyes.

my future, my dog, my mom, plans for the week

out with friends or relaxing after the busy work week.

if i'm out it can be dinner, drinks, bars, movies...it all depends.

if i'm home it's netflix or hulu on the couch with penny - oh and wine.

i'm scared of the dark. for real.

you think any of what i've said about myself sounded interesting.

i'm looking to meet nice, funny guys that are around my age.
