I was born in Granite City, IL and lived there until I was 13 years old.  At that time my family and I moved to Waterloo, IL, and is where I currently still reside.  I graduated from Gibault Catholic High School in 2006, and am currently attending Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.  During my high school career I worked at the local YMCA and volunteered at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.  Presently, I am doing an internship with the St. Louis Blues organization.

My parents are Todd and Donna, my younger sister is Loree, and I have the best dog in the whole world named, Nash.  My family and I are very close and we enjoy spending time together.  We go on many vacations, and have several family traditions that continue to strengthen the bond between us. Since we got our dog, our lives have changed dramatically, for the better. Our golden has brought us plenty of love and joy, that I hope I can only pass on to those I meet.

In my spare time, I enjoy being with my boyfriend.  Together we enjoy going to the hockey games and watching movies.  I also enjoy hanging out with my friends and family.  My sister and I spend a lot of time together, and make sure to have fun while we are hanging out.  In whatever situation I know that my friends and family will be there to support all of my endeavors.
