Interests
Here's a bit about me: I have been a social butterfly for as long as I can remember, and I thrive in environments that rely on interpersonal skills and communication. I have a passion for connecting with people, and that's a huge reason social media is the path I have chosen as it's the most widespread form of connection in the world. I have always had a deep love of video games and entertainment, and am a huge horror movie buff. I can be a homebody sometimes, but that just means I get to spend more time with my two cats!
