3rd Year with the Prowler

 

I enjoy being outside, listening to Taylor Swift, and traveling. My favorite food is seafood.  My favorite places to visit are Greece and the beach. When I graduate from college I want to become a veterinarian. My goal this year on The Prowler is to write better stories.
