Even
if you are on the right track, you'll get run
over if you just sit there!
- Will Rogers
It
is always difficult to write about yourself! I
am 30 years old, the "only middle" child
with two 'adopted' brothers and we are very much
a racing family. I enjoy most of my work so I
don't mind that takes center stage but I also
spend a lot of time traveling, music, scrapbooking
and hanging out with family and friends.
In a professional sense, my personality is a
benefit because I am self-motivated, creative,
intense and detail- and deadline-oriented. Translate
that to real life and I can be stubborn, ecclectic
and perfectionistic. It is what it is! :)
