I am a woman of many facets, a jack of all trades, and master of none (or few). Foremost, I am a mother. Close second, a wife and daughter. I take these roles seriously. I work full time to support my family, but also work here-and-there in my spare time to make some extra money, just because I can.

I'm a blend of old fashioned views, modern inclinations, with a keen eye on future possibilies. I have a background in arts in various forms, but have a strong interest in finance. I've never been able to be categorized or boxed into a specific label for many would be right and still insufficent. All who have tried have learned that I can't help but break their molds. There is no 'one world' for me.

I'm laidback, with strong views. I'm accepting, and strict. I'm the doubled-edged blade, the twenty-sided dice, the mask behind the mask. I'm not unlike many and I'm unique among them. There is no puzzle I fit into, no clique I follow, no pack I lead. I'm a lone fox, chewing on the raven while the grapes rot on the vine. If you can figure me out fully, you will not the next moment. Even I confuse myself, and yet, that's how things must be.



I am "The girl with the unapologetic smile."
