If you live in Tampa Bay, Why are you here?

My family live here. We're kind of "old-world" and believe that families should stay together as close as possible. I know. Odd idea. Ha ha. :)

How long have you lived here?

I have a bad sense of time! About eight years.

What neighborhood do you live in, why did you choose it and what do you like about it?

Hyde Park area. Family was already situated here.

If you were to move to a different neighborhood, what would it be and why?

From low income to high, Tampa neighborhoods are very interesting to me. I don't plan on leaving this area anytime soon, but I'd be happy wherever I went. There are many great photo-ops here!

What is your favorite thing about Tampa?

It's what Mr. Cosentino said about it being a little Big City. Tampa is very cultured, but comfortably small. It would be nice to get some developments, say in transportation but it's a really comfortable city.

What kinds of things are you involved in?

I currently volunteer at The Humane Society of Tampa Bay. Currently on hiatus from community college, though now plan on resuming. Currently job hunting, but my interests and "talents" I'm told are in writing, drawing, and many forms of artwork. As for 'involvement', I've still got a name to make in the world, but I have plenty of time.

Tell us about what you do.

Oh, well- that would be in "what are you involved in?" LOL! :) I am writing with aspirations to be published along with searching for a practical means of sustainability.

If you live in Tampa, Why do you stay?

Family's here!

Where else have you lived?

California. Visits to Europe, best time of my life. Someday!

What kinds of things are you interested in seeing on Brand Tampa?

I'm still not sure what it's about. I was researching Mr. Neil Cosentino after I had met and conversed with him at Marion Station Transit Center. It was very refreshing, and revitalized my interest in politics. I saw he had a page here, and this looked like a beacon of new ideas for Tampa Bay. As much as I like Tampa as is, I thought it would be cool to keep up and explore the site, being a local.
