About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people and check out new places.

ABOUT ME

I am fairly outgoing and I enjoy talking to people. I try to live simply and I'm not hard to please. I think new experiences are an important way to learn.

I have have a husband, Chad, and we have a dog, Cassidy. We all live together in Utah and we are having fun exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a lot of life to live, and interacting with others is part of it. I think the blending of different fields is the best way to come up with new ideas, so I try to learn a little about a lot.
