The memory of 9/11 is what keeps my heart burning for the red, white, and blue. 9/11 has formed the solid foundation on which my beliefs and life are built upon. 9/11 could have been the day my family and I could have lost everything just like so many other Americans had, but by some miracle or chance or grace my dad came home to us that day. The thought of walking the Brooklyn Bridge looking at the Manhattan skyline or through the streets of downtown New York City this summer & seeing the Freedom Tower sends chills up my spine to think about the ghosts of the tragedy that live in The City. However, the thought also makes me well up with pride, faith, and patriotism because freedom is ringing louder than ever 17 years later. May we as a nation never, EVER forget 9/11/01 and stand as one nation under God ❤️💙 ——— “We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail.” – George W. Bush, September 11, 2001 #InGodWeTrust#NeverForget911#NYStrong#WeRemember

I am originally from Long Island, New York. Now, I live and work in D.C. at as an acoustic consultant.
I graduated from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. with my bachelors of mechanical engineering in May of 2020. I love living in D.C. because it is smaller than New York City (where I basically grew up), so it was easy to get around. There is always something fun to do all day, every day. I have a few blog posts up about my time at Catholic University, and I plan to write a lot more!
If there is one thing that you remember from reading this, it should be that I love spending quality time with friends and family. They are my support system, and I would not be the woman I am today without each and every one of them. Simply put, they mean the world to me.
I am also a faithful Catholic and have a passion for music and art. I play the piano, guitar, ukulele, kalimba, and I sing!
When I started this blog, I was back in New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shutdown of my campus. My sister and I published a few episodes of our podcast called The Chirp at the beginning of the summer, but when we both started working, it become difficult to manage. I started this blog in August of 2020 because I was looking for a new recreational project that would stick. So, here’s to a new start!
