Hello!

I’ve put this together to give you options for my bio and my profile picture. Choice is important, but most important for me is getting you what you need as soon as I can. There are 7 versions of bios below spanning 1000 characters down to less than 50 words. All of the character counts below include spacing. There are 5 options of photos below (it’s a sliding gallery). Click on the right or left of the photo container to scroll. Right click to download. Also, I 100% still look like these pictures.

Best -
