Hey, I'm 23 years old. I live in Flanders, NJ. I tend to be quiet when I first meet someone, but don't let that fool you. I'm and animal lover. I have two dogs and three cats. I enjoy reading, hiking, horseback riding, anything outdoors really and spending time with family and friends.

I graduated about a year and a half ago from County College of Morris in Veterinary Technology and I earned a B.A.S. I worked as an ICU tech at an emergency veterinary hospital in Manhattan for about two years. At that time I lived in Jersey City for a year and have just recently moved back to this area to be closer to my family and friends and in a safer area.

I'm not big on going out to bars and clubs on a regular basis but I find it fun when its done occasionally. When it comes to dating I enjoy doing different things not just going out to dinner and a movie--that gets boring after a while.

Although I tend to be shy at first, once I get to know someone I can be pretty outgoing and enjoy lots of things together. One thing I can say is that I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty--I'll try anything once.

I'm a veterinary technician at a small animal, general practice in Flanders. I assist the doctors during exams, treatments, and surgeries as well as many other things. Although it sounds like a complete 180 I plan on going back to school in this fall or next spring for Nursing. I have always had a passion for helping people and my dream is to be able to do this with the assistance of animals. I know from personal experience that animals can bring alot of joy to a persons life in many different ways. It is an amazing thing to be able to see someone closed off to society be able to open up in the presence of a dog/cat.

making people laugh. I have a very witty sense of humor

Cooking/Baking: I make some kick ass turkey burgers and one hell of a pumpkin swirl cheese cake. :)

I've been told that I have a great smile.

Book: To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite but i enjoy reading just about anything from the classics to coming of age novels. My favorite author is Nicholas Sparks

Movie: There are too many to choose from,I like to watch anything.

Music: Just about anything, right now I listen to mostly country and rock/alternative. It really depends on the mood I'm in. My favorite bands are Three Days Grace, Linkin Park, Green Day, Thriving Ivory and lots more

Food: I'm steak and potatoes kinda girl.

My truck (it's a clunker but I lover it), family and friends, food, my pets, my job, and my life.

I like to have a plan for the next day. It's by no means written in stone but its easier getting through the day with some idea of what needs to be done.

Also I like to think of how to better my life and things I'd like to accomplish in my lifetime. I've got a pretty extensive bucket list. Some of the things I would like to do are learn how to ski and snowboard, get a tattoo, sky dive, learn how to ride a motorcycle, travel the world and fullfill my dream.

It really depends on when I get out of work. The clinic I work in tends to be busy on Fridays so sometimes I just go right home and spend time with my dog or go out to a bar with some friends.

I'm deathly afraid of spiders and will jump into a strangers arms if I see one. Same goes for scary movies--can't watch them alone.

One if you'd like to get to know more. I joined this site to find new friends and see where it takes me. Ideally I would like to find that special someone to eventually settle down with, but the way I see it the best relationships start out as great friendships. I'm not looking for anything specific, just someone to chat with and eventually like to meet in person.
