I am a 24-year old teacher's aide for special needs children and I also tutor. I am an aspiring elementary school teacher. Teaching is one of my passions, I love working with children. I am planning on going back for my masters in special education soon. I am also a very family oriented person; I enjoy spending time with my family but especially my sisters, who I am very close with. My friends are very important to me and I have a close group of friends that I would do anything for.

I love watching movies, listening to music, reading books, going to the beach and traveling. I would love to one day go to Hawaii, England, Paris and Italy, as well as many other places. I'm always up for an adventure. I love going into NYC with no set plans and just exploring. I love animals but especially dogs. I would also consider myself a fairly creative person. I love taking pictures and scrapbooking them and doing other little projects. I really enjoy baking when I have a chance. I have always been the kind of person who likes to give back to the community and have been involved in volunteer work for the majority of my life.

I would consider myself a "Jersey Girl" because I love the beach, Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi, NY Giants & the Yankees. I love music and you will find just about every type on my iPod. Some of my favorites included Mariah Carey (her old stuff), Carrie Underwood, Justin Timberlake, Dashboard Confessional, Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts, The Get Up Kids, 80's and Kelly Clarkson, just to name a few.

Some of my favorite TV shows include One Tree Hill, Law & Order SVU, The Biggest Loser, Dancing With the Stars, ER, Friends, American Idol, Glee and The Big Bang Theory. (I love my DVR so I can watch my favorite shows when I have time.)

I am really just looking for someone who has the same values and similar interests. Someone who I can have fun with and laugh and have a good time but also have great conversation with. An honest down to earth guy.

On a first date I would want to go somewhere where you are able to have fun while talking and getting to know each other. Whether it was out for dinner or coffee or going to the boardwalk, something fun along those lines.
