Hobbies
I am a huge film and tv fanatic, very interested in YA literature (think John Green) as well upper crust modern fiction (think David Foster Wallace), as well as any and all comic book or graphic novel. I work on my own creative writing pursuits and dabble in poetry. I love to go to concerts, explore New York City and try out new restaurants and coffee houses. A fan of the outdoors I live for the beach, hiking, kayaking, rollerblading and biking. I also love to cook and learn new recipes. During winter months I can be found crocheting and knitting scarves and hats for friends.
