I was born and raised in Hoosier Country - the great city of Bloomington, Indiana - known for being home to Indiana University. I was lured away for college, seeking my next adventure, but I am extremely proud of where I came from and I love returning home. There's more than corn in Indiana!
My friends and family mean the world to me. I have two younger brothers who, much to everyone's surprise, are my best friends. Tyler is 14 months younger than me and is in his first year at the University of Wyoming. Mick is 6 years younger and will be entering high school next fall. I have been blessed to be surrounded by amazing people all my life - including my two roommates and best friends I met at freshman orientation! Cutest story ever...
In my free time I enjoy a variety of activities and sports. I love to paint, which I did all four years in high school, and I'm always up for a hike. Or a burrito.
I have a very laid back personality complimented by a strong sense of personal drive and motivation. I am very confident in myself and my abilities, and that has also led me to be somewhat of a jokester. I LOVE to laugh and be laughed at - my greatest joy is seeing a smile I caused.
