Adrean Gonzalex Vasquez What I would start off with is that I am very much someone who loves to get to know new people, and I love to talk and get into deep conversations. If you ever needed a shoulder to cry on you could come to me and I would happily help you through your potentially complex set of emotions. I am a huge nerd. I love Marvel, DC, gaming, anime, movies, music, but most importantly theater and acting. I would say a ton of my personality stems from my love of theater. I do shows constantly and I love entertaining people. My biggest joy of theater is bringing the audience into these worlds that we create.
