I was born in Elmhurst, Illinois

 

My birthday is August 8th (I'm a Leo)

 

I am 5'2" (I've heard all the short jokes, so don't even try)

 

I am the youngest of 4 children (unread "spoiled" but willing to admit it)

 

I am 50% Italian and 25% Trinidadian

 

My middle name "Senta" is Scandinavian and it means "a feeling"

 

I grew up in the itty bitty town of Warrenville, Illionois

 

My dad, Bradley, is a State Farm Agent and a major "car guy"

 

My mom, Marisa, is an interior designer, jewelry maker, painter, etc. (way too artistic for her own good)

 

I started painting, drawing, and color working at 8 years old

 

I began photography at 14 years old

 

I got my first Sony DSC-W55 at 17 and it took me 11 months to figure out how to work it

 

I skipped 8th grade

 

I attend the Chicago Academy of the Arts (Go Trojans!)

 

I love but am also terribly competitive at TV games, such as Scene It? and Wii

 

I currently enjoy vacationing in Southeast USA and I don't miss scraping the ice off my car during the Chicago winters
