CURRENT MISSION

settle back into life in NYC

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, but people often don't think I'm a city girl because I'm a lot more laid back than the typical New Yorker. I just finished a year living in Bristol, England studying acting in drama school, and now it's time for me to settle back into life in America...

I'm a fairly adventurous person, I love exploring new places and meeting new people. I love wandering around cities with no specific destination, learning new languages and being outdoors as much as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and light the bloody thing yourself."
