Fun Facts
I love writing, it’s something I do in my very little free time. Another special talent of mine is I have a knack for remembering lyrics to songs; any song that comes on the radio, I can immediately sing along to it. My friends and family sometimes call me the garbage disposal, I’ll eat the leftovers on anyone’s plate if they can’t finish.
