Additional Information

Architecture is a passion of mine; it is a field that I am looking to pursue, and have been for many years. It had to be put aside when I had children. However, even then I Dre's house and floor plans in my free time, a hobby that I still enjoy. There is no shortage of architecture and design magazines in my house, which I use to customize the floor plans featured. I am currently in the process of going back to school to get a degree in computer-aided design or some form of architecture.

Another passion is Sewing. I have been sewing since I was 12. I enjoy creating and turning materials into products and usable items.
