29 year old gal living in the Valley of the Sun.
Child of 90s. Prior to the new millennium I was mouthy, primarily focused on my Nintendo 64, and generally bookwormish.. By the time I began high school, I had grown to be more feminine, but not by much.
Went to college in 09. At the bachelor's level I majored in criminal justice, with minors in social work, and family studies. I finished my master's program in human relations at 22-years-old in 2014 and hope to continue spending my life helping those in greatest need. Professionally, I work with victims of domestic violence and homeless families on working towards sustainable housing so they can overcome the cycle of poverty.

- Apologises a Lot
- Afraid of Blood
- Berserk Button - "Welfare Queen," victim-blaming, etc.
- Blind Without 'Em
- Does Not Like Shoes - I only wear them when I absolutely must.
- Good Is Not Nice - Have no problem telling people off if they’re hurting others.
- Improbable Age - In third grade, my father wanted me to skip a grade. Luckily, I talked him out of it, but I graduated college at 20 and my masters at 22.
- Malaproper - To say I'm horrible with idioms would be an understatement.
- Trademark Favorite Food - Indian food.
- Trigger - Graphic depictions of violence and suicide
