Nicole is the Moniker

UPDATES! (as of May 26th, 2011)

*Sorry everyone, but I am still on hiatus from modeling and acting right now. I have been using this time to focus on school and improve my GPA, and it is going well, but I'm not quite where I want to be yet. I have also been working myself back up to an impressive level with regard to my dance, gymnastics, and fitness training, although I'm not quite where I want to be with that I either. I've had a lot less time than I thought I would outside of my main pursuits, due to some mild health issues and generally poor time-management skills. So, I haven't really had the time to start networking again, as well as to start revamping my portfolio (there are going to be some major additions there!) and altering my profile text to make it more accessible. However, things should be clearing up soon, so please stay tuned - you won't be sorry!

*I am hoping to get my hair colored again very soon, continuing my blonde bender. If you are a hair stylist that is still in school, or you are just looking for some practice, and you are willing to work at a discounted rate or for images, then I need your help! You must have at least some experience with coloring hair. Please contact me via MM private message or email for more information.

*I am hoping to add some underwater photography to my portfolio! Please check out my casting call for more details.

*I am now a mentor for beginning models! Select the logo below for more information, or just send me a private message.

Pretext Disclaimers
- My current haircut and color is pictured in my avatar image. Both the cut and the color were executed by Aimee J'Adore (MM #668582). As it states below (in the "Hair, Make-Up and Wardrobe" section), I am willing to change my hair for the right project/offer.
- When contacting me about work, please at least skim the entirety of my profile first. I know, I know, it's an awful lot of text, and nobody likes to read someone blabber on about themselves. Yet, I am a writer, and I can't settle for mediocrity, especially with something that has my name and face pasted on it. I don't expect you to read it all, but I have it divided into organized sections with corresponding headings, so it should be easy to navigate towards the specific information that you need. Most of it is relevant information, and it should answer any and all questions that you might have, while subsequently saving both parties from unnecessary hassle.
- Reserve private messages for work inquiries only. Other types of correspondence can be done via profile tags. I may not manage to respond if you communicate otherwise.
- I want to point out upfront that after reading my profile, one may start to think that I might be too rigid and self-revering. But, I just want everyone to be aware of where I stand and what to expect from me, and what my boundaries and preferences are. In business situations, I am more passive than I am confrontational, and I would rather make a compromise. So, if you feel strongly about something, don't be afraid to tell me. Also, don't be afraid to contact me, regardless of your financial situation and experience/expertise level, just be sure to first read the "Compensation" and "Work for Trade" sections below, in order to be aware of the limitations. I do not hold myself above working on a budget or with amateur individuals. In fact, some of my favorite portfolio images are the product of experimentation with those that are new to the craft.

Introduction: Personal Facts, Traits, Lifestyle, Likes, Dislikes, and Goals
My professional name is Nicole, I am a twenty-one year old petite blonde (former brunette), and so far, a moderately successful, mostly freelance model and occasional actress. I moved to downtown Portland, OR almost three years ago from the Walla Walla, WA area, the place that I spent most of my life before then. I hail from a combination of German, French, and Irish ethnic background. As a child, I was a bookworm, and an ugly duckling, but I have now blossomed into something more like a swan (one of the nice ones). I think that my greatest skills are probably the ability to write well, the ability to learn fast, and the ability to excel under pressure. I love writing, art, music, literature, politics, fashion, food, coffee and tea, sex, city-life, exercising, cartoons, documentaries, the outdoors, shopping, gymnastics, dance (I will forever be a Ballerina at heart), acting, and of course, modeling. I don't like waste, unnecessary drama, dishonesty, surprises, unsubstantiated suppositions, and The Federal Reserve. I also don't like unsanitary settings and being cold, but I will endure for the sake of art. I'm a free-spirit with a disciplined background, a Scorpio, and a Libertarian-Socialist. I'm bold, expressive, down-to-earth, brutally honest, and a pleasant mix of sweet and sassy. I always try to be virtuous and just in all of my pursuits and interactions, but I still succeed in entertaining most, and I will let nothing compromise my integrity. I smoke Turkish Royals, I meditate in some form daily, and I like to go to parties often, both to get intoxicated (Gin is my favorite), and to meet new friends and socialize with others.

I am also a full-time student at Portland State University, currently studying Philosophy (major) and Chinese (minor), and I plan to move on to graduate studies in Professional Writing and Journalism, and then Law or International Studies or Political Science. In addition, I have been considering, at some point, joining the Peace Corps or traveling and/or studying abroad. As well as Mandarin Chinese, I also speak French, and I hope to learn as many other foreign languages as time will allow for. I dream of, some day, having a family with my fiance, and a large piece of land on which to operate with total self-sufficiency and independence, and to cultivate a household and lifestyle that is completely sustainable, eco-friendly, and open-minded, and is disciplined, yet diverse and full of adventure.

I think that everyone should see these videos (I recommend watching them in order, oldest release date first):

Zeitgeist

Lastly, for projects requiring physically strenuous activity, or many hours of work, I will probably need to take a snack break at some point during the session. If you are feeling hospitable and want to provide the food, I'm not terribly hard to please. I will eat/drink ANYTHING except meat, poultry, and dairy products (just to be clear, "meat" does not include fish and other seafood, nor eggs; I will eat both of those).

Why I Chose Modeling
I have been modeling at a steady pace since August of 2008, and I do it because it's a challenging, entertaining, satisfying, stimulating, and rewarding way to earn a sufficient income, that works great with a school schedule. I also really like the idea that I am contributing directly to an accessible artistic endeavor, while flaunting my essence in such a way that is empowering. I really want to take my work to the next level with creative images that reveal and embody something significant, employ dynamic conditions that break new ground, execute a wider range of emotion and movement, and speak to the viewers' identity rather than their personas, and may or may not immediately draw attention at a glance, all while maintaining aesthetic integrity. By landing more fashion and commercial work, I hope to increase the presence and representation of petite models within those genres, and create a good example for other short girls that are trying to make it in this business.

Why You Should Book Me
You take a risk that you might be disappointed any time that you decide to invest time in another person. I guarantee that you will enjoy our time together and get some interesting and legitimate content to shoot, and there are many reasons why I believe that. I am usually available immediately and on short notice, and I have a fairly open schedule. My references will likely tell you that I am very reliable, fun, and easy to work with, and that sessions with me are productive and unique. I have endless ideas for project and event concepts. I am extraordinarily well-rounded, both physically and intellectually, allowing for a multitude of modeling options (see "Training, Skills, and Experience" section). I can work with any amount of direction, and I am very comfortable and confident in front of a camera or audience. I am very organized and thorough, some might say to the point of being obsessive-compulsive. But, I can still control myself, and that is where the difference lies. I possess the needed fitness, courage, and tenacity to make outdoor photography more interesting, by climbing and jumping off trees, cliffs, rocks, or man-made structures, balancing atop logs or beams, and wading or swimming through bodies of water, all while being barefoot and fully nude. I have a larger than average lung capacity, great breath control, and a bit of experience with underwater modeling, so successful underwater shots are definitely a plausibility. I like to drive the session by creating shapes in flow and altering details big or small to vary the elements of meaning and expression. Although, I do recognize the necessity of holding a pose continually, and that is where collaboration becomes vital. I'm good at thinking outside the box, looking at myself objectively, and compartmentalization. Aspects like professionalism, energy, respect, open-mindedness, reason, courtesy, maturity, explicitness, tolerance, consistency, innovation, flexibility, and common sense are constantly actualized and always appreciated. I continually try to believe that non-constructive negativity is nothing useful, that most problems in this world (both micro and macro) stem from ignorance, and that transcendence can be the fruit of deviation from the status-quo. Lastly, If you must cancel or reschedule a project date, please try to give at least four days notice from start time (seven days if there is travel involved), however soonest is always best. I always try to uphold this practice, and I would be grateful for reciprocation. Granted, illness and emergencies are nearly impossible to predict; some occurrences are simply beyond personal control, and nobody should be punished or belittled for that. Anyway, words can only express so much; I can sit here and continue to tell you why I'm super awesome, and why I think you should work with me, or you can know for sure by giving me a chance to show you, in live-action.

Training, Skills, and Experience
Besides a lifetime of well-rounded study and hobbies, I feel that I have a lot of personal undertakings that benefit my performances as a model, actress, host, and spokesperson. For starters, I have been a classically trained dancer for the majority of my life (since I was eight years old), of both classic and contemporary styles, in mostly Ballet (including en Pointe and Pas de Deux), but also a lot of Jazz, and some Tap, Hip-Hop, Latin, Lyrical, Modern, African Folk, Freestyle, and Interpretive, as well as a little bit of Belly, Ballroom, Swing, and Square too. For the first seven years (until the age of fifteen), I trained daily during the school-year and intensively during most of the summers, and since then, I have continued to teach myself and maintain my skills, while supplementing with conditioning and master classes. So, I am up for any kind of dance photography, or any other kind of project that incorporates dance, and I can generate note-worthy and eye-catching lines and shapes with poses that other models may not be able to execute. Along with the facts that I'm used to boasting my sexuality in front of a crowd, and dancing freestyle at parties, I think that my dance training more than prepares me for appearances in Burlesque, Cabaret, and variety shows, Vegas or Rockette style show-dancing, and as a gogo dancer. As well, I have training and/or experience, at varying levels of expertise, in many sports and fitness specialties including track & field (sprints, middle-distance, long-distance, relays, long jump, high jump, triple jump, javelin throw), cross-country running, Yoga, Pilates, swimming (freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke), calisthenics, gymnastics (floor, beam, uneven bars, vault), Martial Arts (Hapkido, Kickboxing), softball (fast-pitch), soccer, tennis, golf, racquetball, rock-climbing, light weight-lifting (elementary level), hiking, cycling, archery, cheer-leading, ice skating, and rollerskating/blading. I continue to try to retain my abilities in all of the sports/specialties listed above, as well as to work-out at least a little bit daily with walking or hiking outside, jogging/running/sprinting on a treadmill, lap swimming, Yoga, Pilates, calisthenics, dance/gymnastics/Martial Arts conditioning, and lots of stretching, making me a ready candidate for almost any fitness or sports photography, or any other project involving fitness or sports. In addition, I have had five years of classical vocal training (through solo lessons and choir from 2001 to 2005), and I still pursue voice exercise and practice singing on a regular basis (current range: Mezzo-Soprano). I play the piano and the flute, both at an intermediate level, but most of my musical performance experience lies with the flute, and with my voice. I have been acting intermittently since I was six years old, so I have gained a fair amount of training and experience (through classes and productions) in the area of Theatre Arts. This helps all-around with modeling, since it is similar to acting in that it is essentially just playing a role and telling a story. I have also taken a couple of basic film photography (specifically black & white, and including darkroom development) and Digital Imaging (specifically photograph editing and manipulation, digital illustration, animation, graphic arts and design, website creation, and video editing, using mostly Adobe brand software) courses, at both High School and College standing, which gives me a general knowledge and understanding of what it is like to work behind the camera and on post-production too. Furthermore, for the three and a half years before I started modeling, I worked several different jobs as an administrative assistant, hotel caterer, restaurant hostess/server, and retail clerk. I also have natural public relations and verbal/communication skills, and I pick up on things very quickly. That job experience and those capacities are the making of a great spokesperson, event hostess, and showroom or tradeshow model. So, if you are looking for someone of model caliber to host or help with a party, event, or show, or to assist in the promotion of your cause, product, or service, whatever it may be, then I've got the skills and experience that you need.

Modeling Work
I am hoping to add some more non-nude content (clothed, partial nude, and/or implied nude) to my repertoire (and hopefully my portfolio too), in photoshoots, spokesmodeling, and advertising work, of the fashion, fine art, artistic, bodyscape/figure portrait, lifestyle, action, sports/fitness, hair/makeup, casual, educational, promotional, commercial, underwater, era/period specific, Avant-Garde/experimental, body-painting, and alternative (gore/horror, abstract, taboo) genres, that incorporate elements such as parts modeling, my dance training, fabulous wardrobe, creative concepts, and my fiance, as well as runway work and posing for artists (see the end of the "Credits" section for specific theme ideas and project concepts I want to try). Although, I am interested in doing, and/or have experience in, most kinds of modeling-related work, be it stills or motion, print or web, film or digital, parts modeling or headshots or full body, indoors or outdoors, solo or with other models (male or female), on location or in studio, nude or clothed or partial or implied, of genres including (but not limited to) artistic, fine art, fashion, glamour, bodyscape/figure portrait, natural and urban outdoors, casual, beauty, lifestyle, sports/fitness, action, fantasy, pinup, promotional, commercial, educational, hair/makeup, Burlesque, industrial, boudoir, underwater, era/period specific, Avant-Garde/experimental, body-painting, alternative (abstract, gore/horror, goth, punk, taboo, etc.), erotic (only if it's tasteful), fetish (only if it's light and non-explicit; certain fetishes do not fall within my limits), and bondage (only if it's platonic, i.e. no BDSM or overtly sexual content), as well as workshops, tradeshow appearances, runway work, advertising, fitting model work, Gogo dancing, showroom modeling, hosting events, spokesmodeling, Burlesque/Cabaret and variety shows, and posing for art classes and artists (painters, sculptors, illustrators, Henna tattoo artists, light-painters, digital/graphic artists, image manipulators/editors, etc). On the contrary, I am not interested in doing, nor will I ever be accepting work requests for, any explicit adult nude content (i.e. no raunchy spread shots, I will go as far as doing softcore Playboy-style nudes), nor pornographic content (be it solo or group, softcore or hardcore, implied, simulated, or explicit).

Acting Work
I am also looking for projects, on a limited basis, but of almost any genre, to render my thespian skills, including theatre productions, film and video productions, performance art, educational and how-to projects, advertising, improvisation and skit shows, Cabaret, Burlesque and variety shows, music video appearances, body-double and stunt work (though, I am no aerial acrobat or fighting master), voice-over acting, and radio and TV show hosting and appearances. As I stated previously, I have acting experience and training, more specifically, in the areas of drama, comedy, improvisation, musical theatre, character-acting, Shakespeare, suspense, action, horror, gore, adventure, and fantasy. I suppose I would be considered a triple-threat within the acting world, since I also have classical vocal (current range: Mezzo-Soprano) and dance training and experience (Ballet-including en Pointe and Pas de Deux, Jazz/Contemporary, Tap, Hip-Hop, Latin, Lyrical, Modern, Ballroom, Swing, Square, African Folk, Belly, Interpretive, Freestyle). Throughout my life, I have participated in two webseries' (these particular series' are dramatic scenes acted out and recorded with still photography; they are similar to comic strip storyboards), plus several theatre productions (all amateur) and numerous video productions (see "Credits" section for resume). These projects required a lot of situational acting, improvisation, simulated fighting, creative aptitude, vastly varying extremes of expression (including playing dead), and using accents, stunts, replica props, and special effects (both practical and digital), as well as the incorporation of a script and music (singing and dancing). As far as compensation for acting work, I am much more open to the possibility of non-paying projects, and I am up for one-time, short-term, or long-term performances.

Appearance: Body Modifications, Age Range, Skin Tone, Scars, etc
I have been told many times that my look is very versatile. A lot of the images in my portfolio are unedited, and I don't require a lot of PhotoShop to make me look good. Some of the content in my portfolio and my "Nicole Elsewhere" image list was created at a time when I was being lazy with exercise (that's kind of a rarity for me). The more lean and toned figure pictured is my current look, and all of the stats/measurements listed on the left side of this page and in the "Hair, Make-Up, and Wardrobe" section are up-to-date (they never really changed, my edges just softened and rounded out a little more). I have a navel piercing, double-pierced earlobes, and no tattoos (all piercings are removable). With the right hair, make-up, and wardrobe, I feel that I can cover an age range from 14 to 25 years old. My skin is of a strikingly fair tone, so developing a deep tan can be an issue for me, but I am working on gaining some more color. If you need me to be tan for a project, I can do that, but it will never be much of a tan. The freckles and moles I have are few and far between, and my skin tone is very neutral (neither yellow nor pink pigment dominates; it meshes well with both cool and warm hues). Moving on, the only visible scars/marks that I have are a keloid-like scar in the middle of my chest, a divoted scar on my lower left shin, a round surgical scar just to the left of my mid-spine, marks from plasma donation on both inner elbows, and a few growth-spurt stretch marks on each inner thigh. With the exception of the chest scar, which is quite noticeable, all of these flaws are small and have a pigment that closely matches my skin tone, so they are rather inconspicuous. Regarding my pubic hair, I am willing to go as natural or as well-groomed as desired (I prefer to sport a cleanly-defined bush trimmed very short; it adds an element of refreshing mystery to nudity). Lastly, my breasts are unaltered (duh!), as is every other part of my body (except for my haircolor, of course).

Compensation
If you contact me with an offer for work, then I will assume that you want to hire me for it, unless you specify otherwise. At this point, because of my busy life and demanding financial situation, I am primarily accepting only paying jobs. However, sometimes I do make exceptions for projects on a trade basis (see "Work for Trade" section for details). I prefer to receive compensation in cash or Postal Service money order, and I rarely accept personal checks, as a precaution. For one-time assignments, I seldom agree to a split or delayed payment schedule, and if I did, I would require that I receive at least half of the total earnings on the day of, and the remainder within four weeks afterward. I may be persuaded to compromise on this issue, as long as it's for a project that really intrigues me, and you can provide enough legitimate references to back it up (a sufficient portfolio, and list of names with corresponding MM #'s or email addresses, should do just fine). I won't bother stating my desired rates here, since my say rarely makes a difference, and compensation varies so much from project to project. I understand that many individuals in this field are beginners and/or are funding their endeavors out-of-pocket. I am still totally willing and able to work with a meager budget, and have done so many times in the past. For almost each and every collaboration, regardless of compensation and plan for use of content, a release will need to be signed. I prefer to take care of these kind of book-keeping business-like tasks first before the session or event begins (that includes completing all other documents and settling compensation). I think that doing so establishes an initial atmosphere of implied trust and legitimacy, while putting to rest any feelings of doubt, vulnerability, and preoccupation, so that the best possible shooting context can be incarnated for the whole team.

Work for Trade
As I stated in the previous paragraph (section entitled "Compensation"), I will occasionally make an exception to my "paid work only" rule. If you feel that you have a remarkable or unprecedented project (for me [which is a lot of stuff] or in general), or something unusually exceptional to offer me (like you are a very experienced, well-known, and/or specially skilled individual, or you can promise a lot of exposure), or you are willing to let me do all of the design and direction as well as choose which shots are finished and employed, then I may consider doing work for images, especially if both print and digital versions can be provided. The likelihood of me making an exception like that becomes almost non-existent for projects involving nudity (just topless, bottomless, or full nude, not implied or partial nude). If I do agree to trade work for images, then I will require, for digital versions, at least twenty finished images on a CD in their original sizes, or for print versions, at least five finished images in headshot size (8.5"x11"). In addition, if I am doing the design and direction, I will require dual ownership of the image copyrights. Some day, I may join Zivity, or have my own website, at which point I will probably start shooting more content for trade. I am also interested in working with wardrobe and set stylists or designers for merchandise (I will probably go for just about anything - apparel, footwear, jewelry, accessories, props/decor, etc; what I receive does not have to be what I model), as well as visual artists (illustrators, painters, sculptors, Henna tattoo artists, light-painters, graphic/digital artists) or image editors/manipulators for originals, prints, and/or digital versions, and hair stylists for haircuts (trims, texturing, and/or layering, but nothing that entails the overall loss of a lot of length), haircoloring, and/or mild, loose perms.

Travel
As long as at least most of the expenses are covered, and trips can be planned around my school calendar, then I am willing to travel some for work (I just haven't had the need or appropriate opportunity to do so yet). I do have a valid passport, so close to no destination is out of reach. Ideally, I would be traversing the distance via ZipCar, to locations throughout Oregon, Washington, Northern California, Southern British Columbia, Idaho, Western Montana, and Northwestern Nevada. However, some places will be too far from home to not go by airplane, and in that case, I will need extra help with the damages. Additionally, the farther away from Portland the site is, the more likely it will be that I am going to need overnight accommodations (nothing seedy; it must be clean and safe, and contain a private bathroom, but it doesn't have to be expensive). No, I am not OK with sleeping on your couch, and yes, lodging is included in the expenditures that would need to be backed. If we are working within the greater Portland area, then keep in mind that I will be utilizing public trains and buses, and/or my own two legs to get to the studio or location. If it's anywhere outside of that, or anywhere not reasonably serviced by public transit, then I would appreciate a ride or some assistance with the cost of a taxicab or ZipCar. On the other hand, even though I have almost no monetary freedom, if you are willing to travel to the Portland area just for me, then I may be able to help with your expenses a bit. And no, I'm sorry, but you cannot stay at my place, unfortunately.

Escorts
I may choose to bring an escort to a photoshoot or any other work-related event, and in my opinion, there should be no reason for refusal of this practice. If I don't receive a statement indicating otherwise, then I will assume that everything is copacetic. However, if you do happen to refuse my request to bring someone along and cannot provide enough legitimate references, that will likely dissuade me from following through with the project, or make me feel like I really do need an escort. Whether or not I am accompanied depends on a variety of factors - location, travel, date/time, type of work, genre of content, compensation, intuition, my mood, your behavior, and so on. It is not so much about being safe (I don't expect that I will ever be raped and murdered during a shoot!), it is more about feeling comfortable, secure, and normal. Of course, he or she won't get in the way at all, he or she will just sit off set and read a book or something.

Hair, Make-Up, and Wardrobe
Currently, my hair is still very long, about to the bottom of my ribs, and my graduated bangs (which I almost always sweep to the side) have grown out to my cheekbone and further. I am willing to change my hair for the right project/offer. Though I rarely wear much make-up (if any at all) or style my hair beyond a tousle, I am, for the most part, capable of doing my own hair (I can go straight, wavy, or curly, up, down, or somewhere in between, braided, twisted - however you like), as well as applying my own makeup, so there will probably be no need to find a hair stylist or make-up artist for projects. But, if you happen to be able to do so, I love having my appearance done professionally. I am also definitely alright with body-painting, be it self-applied or professionally done, and a work of art or just fun with a mess. There are good examples of my own hair and make-up work all throughout my portfolio; if one of my images' info doesn't mention a hair stylist or make-up artist, then I did the hair and make-up myself. But, do keep in mind that if you are wanting an intricate look, one that is fairly difficult to execute, I cannot guarantee that I will have the expertise or supplies to create it. Moving on, my personal wardrobe is an extensive, adaptable, and harmonious collection, made up of a diverse range of styles, which comprises casual, business, and semi-formal apparel, sports and exercise wear, lounge and sleep wear, outerwear, shoes and footwear, lingerie, swimwear, jewelry, accessories, and even a few costumes. For extra charm, I could wear my glasses, instead of my contact lenses. I love being trendy, and wearing outfits that set me apart from the norm, but are still functional. Putting aside highly-specialized fashions, it would be unlikely that I couldn't put something suitable together, for any desired look. However, if you request that I bring along and construct more than six completely different outfits for just one session, then I would find it both professionally considerate and refreshingly appropriate if you spent the time, effort, and resources/funds it takes to hire a wardrobe stylist. For fitting purposes, here are some of my body measurements and stats not contained in the list on the left side of this profile: bra size-32B, upper thigh circumference-18", leg inseam-30", shoulder to hip-19", sleeve length-20", women's apparel size-2/XSmall petite, junior's apparel size-3/Small short, shoe size width-Medium.

Locations and Props
If you are coming to the Portland area, or you are just at a loss for a different place to shoot in the Portland area, I know of many great outdoor locations, both urban and natural, and a nice studio (with some equipment) that does rentals by the hour or day, as well as my home, which is a small apartment, with a surprisingly multifarious lot of shooting options. I also have a whole university of project sets at my fingertips (pottery room, darkroom, laboratories, gymnasiums, pool, athletic courts and fields, weight and circuit rooms, recreation center, library, etc). I have, and could bring along for a project, quite a few items, props if you will, mostly hobby and recreation supplies, that would be appropriate for lifestyle and action photography (which, as stated above, are both types of content that I am looking to add to my repertoire/portfolio). My collection is comprised of items as unique as a pogo-stick and Baffo fighting equipment, as well as outdoor gear, musical instruments, and a variety of arts & crafts supplies. I have at least some, if not, quite a bit of, experience using each of these items, in addition to doing the activities that they correspond to. I am also an avid animal-keeper, and it has always been fun to include my pets when doing photo shoots at my apartment (they are travel-worthy too). A cat and a tortoise make wonderful adjuncts.

If you choose to proposition me for anything other than a business engagement, or you attempt to "soften the mark" towards convincing me to do more explicit work, then I will immediately sever any communication between us. Please do not conveniently leave out crucial information about a project until the day of or the night before. If you don't know what information is crucial, then you need to visit the forums for some mentoring, or something like that. Lastly, for those of you running a scam, I can spot that kind of behavior right away, so just don't even bother.

Thanks so much for checking out my profile, and I hope that you enjoyed it! I will look forward to hearing from you, and potentially working with you too! I wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors!

Post-text Disclaimers
- If you prefer to book me for work through an intermediary, contact Platinum Allure (for ANY kind of work).
- All correspondence is welcomed, and I always try to keep up with responses, but sometimes I get behind more than I should (by professional standards, I guess). I am a very busy person that receives a lot of incoming mail, so please forgive me if it takes a while, or if I happen to overlook you. Being persistent is a good way to get my attention. Also, if your offer is time-sensitive, being thorough and direct will get you a definitive answer sooner. When contacting me about work, include all of the necessary information about the project; please don't make me spell out what I need to know.
- Through communication with me, if we happen to have a disagreement, please do not take my words as a personal attack. I am very outspoken, and I possess the abnormal thirst for debate that all Philosophy students have, as well as an incredibly dry sense of humor. The one thing that I really hate about communicating via text is that it is very difficult to express tone. There have been unfortunate misinterpretations in the past, and I just want to remind everybody to keep an initial disposition that is objective.
