I was born Downtown in Chicago IL, then my mother moved our family to the northwest Chicago suburbs to give me and my 3 other siblings a better chance in life. I am a well-mannered, humble, and outgoing person, and because of this, I’m able to get along with anyone no matter the background. Poetry is a hobby of mine, I enjoy writing poems, songs, and many other forms of poetry. Another hobby of mine is cooking. I've been cooking since I was 4 years old, and my favorite way to prepare a meal is on the grill. Athletically, I’ve been involved in many different sports; Football, Wrestling, and Lacrosse. Currently, I am a student-athlete and I was fortunate enough to earn a scholarship to play lacrosse for St Ambrose University. I’m working on getting my bachelor's degree in sales with the hopes of running my own business one day.
