“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’m a twenty-something graduate from Taylor University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communication, Journalism with a minor in Public Relations. A fancy title that equates to nothing, folks.

A little history… I was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago, IL. I lived in the same house, on the same street all my life.  I was raised by two, wonderful parents who continue to love me unceasingly and show me an unfailing amount of support. I also have an amazing, older brother who at times treats me like a 10-year-old boy. Still, I know he’d go to bat for me and I’d do the same for him. My immediate family is back in Illinois and I miss them dearly.

By the way of… I have lived all over the country from Illinois to Indiana to California to Texas and now to Pittsburgh, PA. I moved here to be closer to family as well as my boyfriend. I have a three-year-old cat named Jack and a two-year-old cat named Jill and yes, they go up a hill. Anyway, I spoil them as if they were my children. I honestly never experienced the love for and from animals until I adopted them from an Animal Rescue League. It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Hobbies… I enjoy shopping, cooking, reading, writing, and photography. I can also be found spending time with loved ones, playing on my iPhone, watching TV or doing everything mentioned above. I’m quite the multitasker.
