Biography
I'm a San Diego native and recent UC Santa Cruz graduate with a BA in Film & Digital Media. I've had a strong interest in mobile technology/telecommunications since I was 12 years old which began as an obsession for Nokia Corporation.
I'm multi-racial and am loosely involved with the LGBT community. I'm pretty open-minded, and trying to broaden my social horizons. I have a good idea of what I want in life and I'm actively pursuing it.
My time is spent working (AT&T) or working out (24 Hour Fitness). I am a freelance model, hip-hop dancer, and videographer. I am obsessed with Daria and The Nanny, and my all-time favorite movie is Cloud Atlas.
