a little more about me
I'm a Portland native and LA transplant. I prefer the colder seasons and I love the rain. So how do I like LA? I love the food, diverse people, and endless opportunities :).
I love to explore the city with friends, find new places to eat, and binge watch shows. On most days, I am busy brain-storming + designing new features and solutions for clubs and ideas I have.
