Summary

An Adept Learner as well as a hardworking individual that will take on all challenges presented. As a cashier I learned to organize and to be efficient with my work. As the staff of the corn maze I was able to learn what it was to really be a great guide to people and to respond to their emotions and feelings. Working as a CSA attendant and as a Christmas Trees Staff member, I found how to connect to people and to remember them, to be efficient at the job but also be someone who a guest could rely on as a staff member or as just another person. With several years experience in the work industry working fast and effective is my specialty.

Reading

In the past years I have gotten a passion to read whatever I get my hands on (As long as it is not non-fiction). I love to explore the worlds that authors create as well as feel the emotions of the character that I am following, truly taking in all there sadness, joy and anger. With characters Like Darrow of Lykos to Violet Sorrengail, I connect myself with them and ride along on their dragons with them or drop down in an iron rain with them. Reading just opens up my ability to be creative and to really forget about the stale world we live in.

Creative Writing

Along with reading these types of tails, I try to create my own and put it to the test. To be able to really show your very own soul in a character of your own making I find it marvelous. My most recent adventure is one called Fallen Angels, a incomplete story about a boy with mystical powers held deep within, trying to make his way in the world and to explore the vast lands to complete the puzzle of his heritage. 

Music

Music is my connection to another world, quite like a book, but different in a hundred ways. Music is the connection not the travel, it is the inspiration for my thoughts, the gateway for me to write and the bridge to my imagination. Music can do many things for many people and I can tell you that for me. Its a point that lets you see my inner soul, my demons and angels. The rope that ties me to places far beyond the realm of the stars.
