For now, I live in Orlando with my two dogs, Aoi and Matcha, but I am eager to explore new places and hope to find a home in a West coast metropolitan area. When I'm not working or studying, I'm usually spending time relaxing with them or tossing a ball for Aoi outside. They are the best kind of stress relief I could ask for with my hectic schedule. Otherwise, you can find me watching Netflix movies, writing stories, studying Japanese, or painting. I’m also quit fond of video games, particularly Japanese \role-playing games like the Final Fantasy franchise or the Yakuza series.

​

I’m pretty shy by nature, but once I open up I am a loyal friend who works hard to keep the peace among friends. I’m also a big animal lover. I grew up with a mother who trained horses, so we typically lived on multi-anchored properties where my mom could raise and ride horses. Cats and dogs came with the territory, but we have also owned snakes, lizards, birds, turtles, ferrets, mice, and rabbits. My mother also had a habit of picking up injured animals and reviving them, so I’ve also spent time with Deer, Squirrels, and even a bat. It was an adventure growing up I a house full of animals, but I loved it.

​

I’m interested in rock music, but have recently taken a strong interest in Jazz and rockabilly as well. I can listen to Ella Fitzgerald sing all day!

Before deciding to write professionally, I spent some time in the cosmetology industry. I worked for five years in the hair industry, but while I enjoyed the work itself, it was physically and emotionally draining for me. That’s why I decided to go back to school.

Right now, I spend most of my time at work, or looking for new projects to keep me busy.
