Originally from Ohio and moved to NYC after graduating college. I would consider myself a midwest girl, with a shot of manhattan energy and mindset (re: I talk quickly). I started out in the UES in 2007 and as I've matured, discovered I am a downtown, specifically soho type of girl, where I have settled for the past three years. It is one of the few neighborhoods in NYC that has a true sense of community, which I am fortunate to be a part of.
I am career-focused and constantly enjoying the challenges and learning experiences my job provides. I work on Wall Street most of the time, but also travel across the US occasionally for work trips. I take advantage of NYC as much as I can and try to never take it for granted. Of all the cities I have visited around thew world, I have never met a city I've enjoyed more. My newest discovery/obsession has been the tenement museum.
My family is extremely important to me. I have a twin sister, and two younger siblings and since we are all over the US, travel frequently to see them. The last trip I took with my sister was to England, which included an ad hoc overnight trip to Paris where our only mission, to go up the Eiffel tower, was spoiled when we didn't have enough time to wait in line before heading back to the airport. One day...
