I'm from the south side of Chicago, the "hood" as many people refer to it and I come to Columbia with a dollar and a dream. I am pursing a major in graphic design and a minor in journalism with hopes of one day opening my own street wear boutique. Clothing as well as sneakers are my two favorite things in life with video games coming in a close 3rd and my parents still don't get why I like them so much. With my addicting to clothes and sneakers you would think I would have a job at Finishline or something right? Nope! I'm jobless but I am intern at Leaders1354 and getting free stuff from there isn't too shabby. As I'm getting older traveling is becoming something I want to do more of. Its hard to explain how fun it is just roaming around in a place I've never been and meeting new people.


My high school career was a bit interesting to say the least. In short I managed to go through 2 alternative schools and ended up at Harlan Coummnity High School where I graduated. How's that for a nice fun fact? However, many people say I'm easy to get along with and very friendly. So don't be shy we can chop it up whenever, maybe talk about some sneakers or whatever it is you're into. Like I said I'm all about meeting new people.
