I’ll start this story from the beginning: I was born February 26th, 1994 in Tucson, Arizona, where I lived until about four and a half years ago. I moved to Chicago shortly following my parents’ divorce, and I still live here today.

I am ambitious & a perfectionist. I am shy and slightly awkward, and an introvert to the core. I don’t always feel confident about myself or who I am, and this has led to some dark periods in my life—but I’m slowly beginning to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Ever since I was young, I’ve had trust issues—it’s hard for me to open up and trust anyone completely. This is something I’m trying to work on, but it will probably always be a bit of a struggle.

Despite all of this, though, I’m also a dreamer with an open mind. Sometimes I dream of living in NYC in an apartment overlooking Central Park with a job managing my very own bakery. I love to learn, and I hope I never stop. I care for others often more than I care for myself (a source of many of my problems), and I would do anything to help someone in need. I want nothing more in this life than to be exposed to as many unique cultures and people as possible, & one day I hope to be able to travel the world.

I’m slightly addicted to slow songs, novels, green tea, shoes, scented candles, and Nutella. Baking is one of my simplest pleasures, along with cooking—I could do both for hours and not get bored. I also love to write, and someday I hope to write a novel. I like to believe I’m a friendly person, so feel free to drop me a message and get to know me more.
