I'm what you would probably call a "nice girl". I smile and laugh a lot. I get along with nearly every person I meet. I am pretty outgoing... you miss out on a lot by being shy! - trust me, i know :) I'm also an honest person and not afraid to tell people what I'm thinking. I'm not really afraid to try new things and I'm pretty spontaneous.

I'm really close with my family, and enjoy spending time with them. I also spend as much time as I can with my friends, most of them I've been lucky enough to have around for several years. :)

I'm a big music fan... live music especially. I go to a music festival every summer, so far it's been a different one every summer, but I'm not opposed to going to repeats. :) I go to a lot of concerts as well, though not as many as I used to... growing up'll do that to ya. I also enjoy hiking and being outside, reading, learning to cook/bake (other than with the microwave), and just being social. I'm not really one to live life on the couch. I'd love to start traveling more, I plan to do so this summer when I have a better idea of the direction my life is heading. :)

Currently I'm an intraoperative neuromonitor (it's not as glamorous as it sounds). I monitor the nervous system during surgery. It's pretty cool for now, but I'm currently in the process of taking the GRE to pursue my PhD in Clinical Neuropsychology, hoping to take my career in the neuroscience industry just a few steps further.

I'm good at spouting out random facts, putting people at ease, and knowing the lyrics to songs. My talents are ever-changing. :)

that would be my laugh and smile.

Favorite books: psychology books, Harry Potter, Twilight, On the Road, You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs, The Bible, Beloved by Toni Morrison, Mere Christianity

Favorite movies: Oh, I really do like them all, scary movies, funny movies, indie films are great...

Favorite music: I've been leaning towards the alt/indie side lately, but am also a fan of punk, anything acoustic/piano rock, and the occasional booty-shaker.

Favorite food: mexican, hands-down.

Six things I could never do without:
1. God
2. Family
3. Friends
4. Music
5. Education
6. Sunshine

I spend a lot of time thinking about my family and friends... food (lets be honest)... and how soon it will be until the weekend gets here. :)

On a typical Friday night I am usually out with my friends somewhere. A lot of my weekends tend to involve alcohol, but there are plenty that don't involve any at all. I'm usually in Dayton on the weekends visiting friends, or hanging out with my family... My job takes up A LOT of my time during the week, so I have some making up to do on the weekends. :)

I may sound like it, but I actually have no idea what I'm doing. :) Also, my face is crooked but you can't tell until i put glasses/sunglasses on.

you're interested. I love meeting and getting to know new people. :)
