A little bit about me

I graduated high school a year early, I’m 17 now. In this gap year, my plan is to work and make money until college. NYU has been my dream school forever and I recently found out I got in. I have been doing competitive dance most of my life and love preforming in general. I love to surf and have been teaching kids how to surf for the past couple summers at JC Surf Camp. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and am looking for a nanny job!
