I'm a work horse. I like late nights staring at the computer until my contacts fall out, I thrive in high pressure situations and I love the thrill of an imposing deadline. Blame it on my personality, blame it on the college swimming, but I can be almost dangerously dedicated. So when I'm not in class or hidden away in the creative lab, pouring over my latest project, I'm usually sleeping.
No, not really. But, come to think of it, perhaps I should be. In a city like this it's hard to stay cooped up inside so it's more likely you'll find me enjoying Austin's beautiful weather with my spunky Australian Shepherd, or enjoying the variety of culture the city has to offer. I still consider myself something of an athlete, so I enjoy swimming, running and physical activity in general. I'll be running my first and second half marathon in 2013. On the opposing end, I'm always up for trying new restaurants in town and ruining all that great fitness oriented stuff I've been doing.
Have I mentioned I'm also looking for a job? Because I am, and I'm a generally entertaining person to be around. Maybe we can try some new restaurants too.Shoot me an e-mail, I have references to prove it.
Side note: As an animal lover, I highly encourage you to visit Austin Pet's Alive! and do what you can to help the animals in need in Austin. It's one of the most rewarding ways to give back to our city!
