About
I am an Australian undergrad at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, studying psychology, literature, and theatre! Being from Australia but located in New York, I have a keen international outlook which I am always eager to employ with whatever job I'm in. I love basketball, swimming and soccer (Or football, depending on where you're from!). I love reading plays and novels from around the world and am currently reading "100 years of solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I enjoy R&B with a twist of new-form styles and hip hop.
