About Me

ABOUT ME

Hey everyone! I'm a fun-loving, ready for adventure kind of girl. Traveling and meeting all sorts of people is one of my favorite things to do and I have been told that there is not a person in the world with whom I would not get along. I love theater, music and art and I'm a speech language pathologist. I am the youngest of 5 children which basically means I'm stubbornly independent, love to be a clown and drag other people along into my ideas seasoned w/insanity! I can also officially say that I am a marathoner! I am a strong believer in pushing your mind, body and soul to the limits. I am constantly amazed at what human beings are capable of when they really put their minds to something.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
