This section is dedicated to my hobbies and what I like to do for fun.  As some of you may know, I'm not your typical girl, and my interests will show you why.


Video Games


One of my favorite hobbies are  playing video games.  I have almost all the console systems and handhelds since the original NES, and my collection is still growing (I think I have a total of about 14 systems and game consoles now, but I lost count.)  My favorite games to play are RPG's, action/adventure games,and dancing/music games, but I also enjoy everything else.  I've been playing video games since I was about 5 years old when I first got my hands on the controller to the original Nintendo system.  Since then, I have been hooked.  Growing up, my mom used to tell me that playing video games was good for your hand-eye coordination, so I guess I was lucky to have such a "cool" mom who always encouraged.

I've also been blessed enough to work as a professional gamer and video game demonstrator for some of the largest video game companies out there.  With my event experience and my video game playing skills, I get great opportunities to merge my love of gaming and event modeling into one job.

Some people think that video games are bad or stupid, or only loner nerds with no girlfriends are hardcore gamers.  Although, for the most part, this might be true, I think I break that stereotypical view of the average gamer.  I often hear people tell me that they would have never guessed that I am a hard core gamer, and I like being different like that.




Cars

My other favorite hobby is working on cars.  I love everything about cars.  I currently have a 2006 BMW 330i.  My fiance has a '90 Nissan 240SX and a 2009 Honda Civic, and together we share an old school '74 Datsun 260Z.  I really love my BMW since it is my personal car, but I love my other cars just as much.  I also enjoy fixing up cars, and although I'm not really into the "street racing" scene anymore, it is still fun to customize your car to better fit who you are. You might wonder how my interest in cars started.  When I got my first my car when I was 18, I wanted to learn how to do all the regular maintenance myself (yes, I do know how to change my own oil.)  From there, I learned more about cars and how to modify them. My fiance is also one of the top auto techs for the county and he is constantly teaching me more and more about cars as well.

I haven't mentioned this to anyone yet, but I secretly talk to cars every time I go into the garage.  Don't ask me why...




Computer Art Work


As some of you might know, I'm currently going to school to get my bachelor's degree in Video Game Art and Design.  That said, sometimes when I have a lot of free time I like to hop on the computer and make some art work.  I do both 2D and 3D artwork using such programs as Photo Shop, Illustrator, Maya, and 3Ds Max.  I also enjoy doing some web design work, like this fine website that you are on right now.  The pictures you see here are some samples of my past art work.
