To
describe myself in one word, I would say that the 27+ years that have lead up
to this moment have been filled with overwhelming independence. For
starters, I was born nearly a month late, arriving on my own time. I grew
up an only child dressed in OshKosh, filling my time with imaginary adventures
and elaborate games of house that took place in my backyard, climbing over
furniture and balancing on the fireplace ledge. I spent my
childhood listening; fascinated by the people and relationships around me. Soon dance entered and took over my life; a
way for a shy girl to express herself outside of the spoken word. In high school, I left my family for weeks to
pursue my independence by way of acting and modeling. This was the first time I really knew I could
take care of myself without the comforts of home. Next, it was off to college to get a degree
in PR and advertising where my passion for understanding the way people interact
was expanded. Then, I was off to chasing
adventure and independence once again in London. The next few years were filled with wonderful
peaks and a chasm of lows. I found my
strength and myself when I decided to embark on a new adventure, one that
married my passion for communications with my aptitude for autonomy. These days, I spend my time obsessed with my
job, my friends, the simply beauty in life and the pursuit of impeccable taste.
