Joined 13 months ago from San Diego, CA. Last activity 3 weeks ago.

Changing the world, one misconception at a time.  

I grew up in sunny San Diego on Alborada Drive. My summer days spent riding bikes, chasing the ice cream truck and selling self-drawn photos to the neighbors with my best friend, Chrissy. Come middle school I spent the weekends at the stable, head-over-heels for horses... that is until I turned 16 and met a boy named Nate. Now, at 23... I try and balance horses, Nate, and Chrissy! Along with a lot of other things... like nonstop writing! 

 

I have my Bachelor of Science in Criminolgy and Justice Studies & Bachelor of Science in Sociology from CSUSM.
