I am a Computer Science Doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

My life is hectic and full, but it is also very rewarding. I consider my spare time a luxury, so when I stumble upon some, I tend to try and make the most of it. I salsa dance regularly at the local latin clubs, and occasionally I'll make it out to a "normal" club. I also thoroughly enjoy being active. I run and lift 4-5x a week and I seek any opportunity I can to partake in athletics or outdoor activities. I like to surf, play basketball and tennis, raft, etc. I also enjoy music a great deal and my musical appetite is terribly eclectic. As can be seen from my list of "Favorite Music," there really isn't a genre of music that I don't find some sort of pleasure in. Additionally, I absolutely love to travel. It is one of my greatest passions. I enjoy traveling domestically, but I prefer international excursions. So far, I've been to Costa Rica, Australia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Mexico, and I went backpacking through Europe last summer. Foreign culture and architecture have always fascinated me (Love those Italian Men!)

Other than that, I like your everyday activities (e.g. movies, dinners, conversation, etc.), but I thrive on the companionship of my friends and family. I am a big "people person." I have a zest for life that I tend to exhibit socially.

I get along best with people who are outside of the box. I seem to gravitate towards people who possess sincerity, good humor, and intelligence.
