My heart belongs to NYC. My biggest passions are theatre and design. I'm not exactly outgoing, but I'm very friendly and kind. I love meeting new people and attending social events. My friends compliment me on my sense of style, and I love looking good. One of my favorite things to do is to relax outside with friends on a perfect day. I'm a strong Christian and a very modest person. I consider myself to be very intelligent. I love to laugh and have fun! Reading that last sentence back, it sounds fake and overused, but it's really true.

One of the great things about being involved in theatre and having those amazing people as friends is that it's okay to break into song on the street walking back from rehearsal or a party. I'm proud to say that I participate. Everyone needs musical theatre in their life. And if you want to go crazy dancing and singing while blasting Mariah, Beyoncé, Britney, or the Moulin Rouge OMPS at a party, you're friends are doing it with you. I love my theatre friends and I don't know what I would do without them. Also, I've just recently gotten into performing - I really enjoy it. It's something I'm thinking about pursuing on the side.

I love pretty much all animals. I have two doggies at home whom I love to death. I miss them terribly! I also care about the environment. I'm all about some recycling. In the future, I hope to use my position as an influential and important designer to promote awareness of the causes that I care about. I'm a member of The ONE Campaign - they do so much work to help impoverished parts of the world, especially Sub-Saharan Africa. I love it.

I love rapid transit systems. I've ridden them in DC, NYC, Boston, Atlanta, and Miami. Disney, too.

I absolutely love the beach, and the mountains. That's one of the great things about things about North Carolina - you get both!

I'm a big fan of hugs. They feel really good.

I'm currently in college studying theatrical design (concentrating in costume design) and plan to move on to fashion design and graphic design in the future. I also make some money on the side selling my photography, which I totally forget that I do half the time. I don't take enough pictures. I would really like to experiment with fashion photography sometime.

My dream: a runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Bryant Park. Or being nominated for a Tony Award. Or both!

designing and creating things.

I think people usually take notice of the way I dress, at least when I go out. Otherwise, I don't stick out that much appearance-wise. When I start talking to someone I hope to come across as very open and friendly.

I think my mind jumps around to a lot of different things. There doesn't seem to be one subject that I focus on predominately.

at a theatre party or doing something fun with friends!

Never been kissed.

we have a lot in common, you would like to know more about me, or if you find me attractive/interesting.

I respond to every message I receive because I don't like when people don't respond to my messages - if you're not interested, just let me know! Don't leave me wondering whether you even saw the message.

If you're interested in friendship, that's totally cool. But if you're interested in something more, don't send me a message telling me I'm "kinda cute" - it sounds like you're settling and it's a little insulting. I believe that both people in a relationship should be physically attracted to each other.
