OCCUPATION: I work in the floral design industry

FAVORITE MUSICIAN: Pretty Lights Live or FKJ
FAVORITE MOVIE:A Clockwork Orange
FAVORITE BOOK: You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay. This book helped me overcome so many self-abusive tendencies and allowed me to heal mentally, physically and emotionally. I still read it over often to remind myself.
FAVORITE SEASON: Fall. The colors are so aesthetically pleasing, especially in upstate New York.
FAVORITE ARTIST: Amanda Sage
FAVORITE NEW YORK MEMORY: Eating brunch for the first time outside at Tavern on the Green. Everything just felt magical. The warm springtime sun was shining, the tulips and dogwood trees were in full bloom and the food was excellent. We sat there for three hours sipping on mimosas and admiring the timeless beauty of Central Park.
PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE: What you think and believe becomes your energetic force, and will shape your life experiences. Being conscious of your thoughts is crucial to growth.
FAVORITE PLACE IN MANHATTAN: After Sonic Yoga of course, it’s probably The Alchemist’s Kitchen in the East Village. I spend a lot of time here.
