I grew up in rural upstate New York and I didn’t realize how beautiful a part of the country I lived in until I moved away.  I attended college in northeast Georgia (another beautiful part of the country) and received a Bachelor’s of Arts in English from Toccoa Falls College.  During my time at Toccoa, besides meeting some great friends and reading some great literature, I crossed paths with Joel Repic, the executive director of Aliquippa Impact, Inc.  From my connection (and eventual friendship) with Joel I ended up working in Western, PA for a couple summers with AI.

I’m opinionated to a fault.  I’m excessively analytical.  I love art and talking about art.  I feel things strongly.  I’m prone to cynicism.  I’m prone to political rants and raves.  I am a ‘phase’ person.  I’m young.  I’ve much to learn.  I pray I’ll mellow out.  I like being alone.  I like watching.  I’m learning to see.
