I am a single mother of two kids, 13 and 18, and a full-time student learning sonography at Mass General Hospital and Middlesex Community College.

In my (make-believe) free time I like to read, watch horror and suspense television and movies, garden, swim, bike, strength train, and do anything involving animals. We have a farm, I am told. Apparently a farm is anything involving chickens; we have two. Also a turtle, snake, and two cats.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kept a 3.8 - 4.0 average for six years of school

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cut any cat's nails. Seriously.
I can and have designed exercise routines for people who want to get in better shape, lose weight, and improve their quality of life. My favorite is working with seniors.
I can tell you how bees behave in various scenarios, from what they do if there's no queen, to what they do if the hive is too crowded.
I have an eye for looking at a space and figuring out ways it could be organized to make life easier.
I can help kids with the muscles and bones of the body, sutures of the skull, the stages of embryology, etc. I tutored students in Anatomy & Physiology.
I am a great animal snuggler.
I'm a great writer and proofreader. I routinely look at friends' resumes and writing; I worked in my college's tutoring center working with students on their writing.
