A little bit about me

I'm originally from Maryland, but attended Duquesne for my undergrad and now I am living up here! I am a very much people person as I have six years within customer service retail experience! I grew up being a ballet dancer so I definitely have passion and art skills when needed! I also love traveling and have been to nine European countries so far! I am very engaging within activities for emotional and developmental needs for any age. I love housekeeping especially my house as I am a neat freak sometimes. I meal prep on my own and I would love to do so for others as nutrtion was a huge thing for me to grow up around! I have only ever cared growing up for ages within elementary school. That is a little about me and I hope I can tell you more about me later on!
