Honest, outgoing, hardworking, loving, kind, and professionally driven. Traveling is my passion. Enjoy visiting and spending time with my brothers, mom dad, and friends/family. Up for spontaneous activities, trips, travels across the world. Love a good weekend of friends, family, and football.

I grew up in the south (NC, SC, GA). Went to college in South Carolina, and then moved up to NYC to work after graduation. After couple years in NYC, I moved to LA to freelance and absolutely loved it. Three years ago I got a great job opportunity here in Chicago, so I packed up and drove across the country and here I am. I have younger brothers and two amazing parents that I love to spend time visiting.

I work in television and event production which keeps me pretty busy. I enjoy: being active, being outside in the SUN, going out with friends, seeing movies, going to football/baseball/hockey games, going to concerts, summer street festivals, log cabins, Trader Joe's candy cane green tea, fires in the winter, yoga, spin, bar method, going to the gym, eating healthy, and learning how to cook, shopping at Trader Joe's Whole Foods, and also enjoy being home and watching a movie/tv with with a glass of wine :)

In the past couple of years I've been fortunate enough to travel around the world: backpacking though Europe, Belize, Honduras, Turks & Caicos, Dominican Republic, & Australia, all over the Caribbean, Mexico, and worked in Haiti, Barbados, and India. I loooove warm weather and the summer, and am excited to be getting out of the Chicago winter and heading to a tiny island in Mexico & the Florida Keys this winter. I'm always up for a new challenge, exploring new cities, and a trip to look forward to!
