Introduction I am Film & Television major with a minor in Sound Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am a creative, optimistic, and tolerant global thinker. I am a filmmaker and book-lover. I have made 6 films so far (the first of which has won 2 awards), and I have a feature-length documentary in post-production. I also love writing, whether it's my journal, poetry, stories, or screenplays. I have a website (AreyaSimmons.Com) and podcast (The Falcon and the Dove), which I conducted weekly with my mother. We now manage the blog as The Falcon and the Dove. I am very active in the community, I have high respect for the environment, and am a huge advocate for global awareness, understanding, and tolerance.

Why don't you ever wear a scarf? It doesn't need to be cold outside for your neck to feel naked.

I often wear my Gryffindor scarf when it's cold. My neck doesn't feel naked when it's warm outside.
