- I attend the University of Georgia studying Comparative Literature. I've 30 hours before graduation. I need to pursue creativity, poetry, photography and film making : my dreams.
Aspiring writer ( poet, screenwriter, novelist, memoirist) with occasional free-spirit romantic-idealistic-bohemian tendencies, drawing inspiration from the 1800s onward. Laid back, and open to opportunities life has in store for me. In essence, I am a Modern Romantic.
US citizen, born in Germany, raised in California and Georgia, and claim Paris as ‘home’ (though I rarely get to visit).

Religion. Science. Sex. Money.
There are many things I don’t understand in this world. Religion. Science. Sex. Money. Still, I participate in every single one of them. Religion – I hedge my bets. Plus it helps to have something besides myself to believe in. But just in case, I spread my risk and believe equally
