I am a Texan born and raised, but I moved to Massachusetts to go to graduate school for architecture.

I would say I am a pretty eclectic person as you'll see by my interests. I like all different types of genres and styles.

Harry Potter- I am a Gryffindor and my favorite characters are Remus Lupin, McGonagall, all the mythical creatures.

Tea and coffee- I am super into all coffee and have enjoyed it since I was very young (bad parental decision probably ha). I am a relatively recent tea drinker so I am very interested in trying different types (especially herbal).

Design- Architecture and design are a passion of mine. As I also study preservation, I also really enjoy different historic architecture and design.

Animals- Cats vs dogs? No no I'll take them all please. I also really like bears. And sea creatures are the best.

Crafting: I really enjoy watercoloring and journaling. I am eager to learn other crafting hobbies because I think I would really enjoy them. My mother has always cross stitched, and I think that is something that I would really like to learn how to do.

Books: My favorite genres are probably science fiction and fantasy. Picking favorites for things is really hard for me cause I like a lot of things but here are a few of my favorite books: Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen), Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card), Norwegian Wood (Haruki Murakami), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (JK Rowling), The Long Walk (Stephen King), and Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman).

Movies: Honestly in love with basically any Disney movie. I also love the Back to the Future series, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Series. My true nerd comes out with movies.

Music: Again I listen to all types of music but here are some of my faves: Coldplay, Pink, The Script, Shawn Mendes, CNBlue, EXO, BTS, Ed Sheeran, and Maroon 5.

Colors: My favorite colors are blues (navy is my all time favorite color), pinks, deep reds, and yellows. I like the look of neutrals with pops of color.

Travel: I really like learning about other places and their cultures, languages, and habits. I find them extremely interesting and love being able to feel closer to someone else by trying to understand their way of life a little more! I enjoy traveling and reading about it as well because I feel closer to other people that way.

Getting to Know People: I am shy and am terrible at small talk, but I absolutely love getting to know people deeply. So long letters and conversations make me so happy. Tell me everything (so long as your comfortable), and I will be sure to do the same!

Things that make me happy: reading, movie marathons, ice cream, the beach, beautiful winter days, wildflowers, and warm baths.

Iced Tea- I'm from Texas and I am supposed to love iced tea but I cannot enjoy it no matter how hard I try. It's shameful really.

Close Mindedness- I like to go into every situation with an open mind and heart, trying to understand and respect opinions, styles, etc that I may not be particularly used to. With that in mind, I become very disappointed when others don't do the same for me.

Color- There aren't many colors that I would say I don't like, but there are a few I avoid like: most oranges (lighter/softer oranges are okay) and neon colors.
