Self-Description

I'm a typical girl from Southern California, I love to go to the beach, surf, play soccer, softball and run. I also enjoy FIRST robotics. I enjoy hanging out with friends and going out dancing.

 
Why AGD?
I chose AGD, because I was the most comfortable at the house and the girls and I had a lot of the same interests. They thought school was important, enjoyed sports but knew how to have a good time.

You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
I would probably go shopping or buy a new surfboard. My surf board is sort of old and with $500, I could buy a top of the line board. With the left over money I would go shopping for clothes and shoes because I LOVE SHOES!

I would go to Italy, ever since I was little I have always wanted to go to Italy. It would be gorgeous and I've always wanted to kiss a Italian man.

What was your favorite vacation and why?
My favorite vacation was probably when I got to go to Brazil. I'm half Brazilian so I finally got to meet my father's side of the family. I also got to learn about a new culture which was fun.
