Born in Hollywood, Florida, into a family of four (myself included), I lived the first five exploratory years of my life in Coral Springs before my dad's job took us to the small town of Carp, Ontario, a half-hour outside of Ottawa (capital city of Canada, for all those less geographically inclined). It was during those three key years when I picked up the sports of soccer and ice hockey. We then moved to the suburbs of another nation's capital - to the town of Ashburn, Virginia, where I began the third grade and later graduated high school. I eventually came to call that bustling town "home," but left soon thereafter to pursue my academic ambitions at the University of Virginia (Charlottesville). With four years of college education and two Bachelors' degrees under my belt (economics and Spanish), I plan to continue exploring the world around me. I love taking my PowerShot S410 everywhere, and I also love to travel as there is no better way to learn about oneself and the world at large.
