Allow Me To Introduce Myself....

Basic facts... I am a California girl who decided to take an adventure in Chicago. I am originally from a small surf town called Huntington Beach, right in the middle of Orange County-- and despite popular belief it is nowhere near comparable to the unfortunate dramatizations of recent reality TV shows. I came to Columbia to be in a familiar artistic setting. I graduated from Orange County High School of the Arts, and in my time there I became all too comfortable learning in an artistic environment. Making Columbia College Chicago the most natural next step in my education. 
At my high school I was a Commercial Dance major. Basically meaning I trained in all forms to prepare to go into a more commercial entertainment market. I have been dancing all my life both professionally and competitively. However after my last show with my senior class, my feet have seldom reached a dance floor and my shoes have been collecting dust. I’m hesitant to say that I have “retired” from my art, but I have been indeed neglecting it. 
Ultimately I am sure most people are far too complex to explain in one blog entry.   Every detail, facet, and quirk. For example, I am a twin. I love sunshine, trees, and believe in the good of the world. I have an obsession with Adele and sea turtles, and a fondness for vulgarity. I like the color green and I’m not scared to admit that the winter has made me homesick. But thats just the beginning. So, feel free to get to know me. We have the whole semester.
