I’m looking to make new friends. Hoping someone can help me see the world through their eyes. I was born in Portland, OR. Growing up in an Italian/American home meant there was a focus on cooking and family. My love for cooking has continued in my adult life. I also enjoy reading, writing, music, and a good road trip. I’m athletic and enjoy hiking, camping, and almost anything outdoors. While attending college, I fell in love with photography. I’m a published photographer whose work has been featured in advertisements for a Portland magazine. I spent a few years as an event photographer, capturing music festivals and shows, as well as the occasional wedding. I have always enjoyed writing, and some of my poetry has been published online. I’m currently working on a collection of short stories. I’ve been employed for over a year as a journalist, writing for a newsletter that can also be found online. Additionally, I’m the first incarcerated person in Oregon to author an article in a newspaper. As for music, I love electronic, hip-hop, reggae, or anything that gets me moving. If you write, I will be more than happy to respond. Feel free to ask me anything. I have no problems talking about my past, present, or hopes for the future. Who knows, I may be the best friend you have been waiting to meet. Also, you can instant message me through the Gettingout website or app.
