I am 25, the proud momma to two miniature Schnauzers and a Maine Coon cat. I am kind of engaged (committed relationship that will eventually turn into a marriage) and am a Sociology major in college. I knit for a living (both by selling my designs in an etsy shop and by running a business for a local knit designer.) I'm passionate about politics, books and animals. I live in Vegas but I'm from Alaska.

I am obsessed with any animal that makes a fur/hair that can be spun into yarn. I collect little sheep figures and alpacas too. I also love penguins and have what could be my own "March of the Penguins" scene going on in my house. I love animals in general so if it's cute and has a little face, chances are I love it.

I love music a lot, and I love getting mix tapes/CDs. I like postcards and anything that is art or could be considered art. I love cheap white wine, the color green and comedy. I think talking about religion and politics are important and tend not to shy away from the topic even if I might not agree with someone. I am spiritual but not religious.I am Mexican and Irish and extremely proud of my heritage. I am also proud to be an Alaskan, a woman and a feminist.
