I'm a strong, smart, independent, compassionate young professional in the DC metro area. I'm a bit of a history buff, and I enjoy traveling to historic and Civil War sites. I also like to travel just to see the sites, especially out west and in New England, and really want to get to Europe. I'm a loyal and trustworthy friend. I can be fiesty, I have a sarcastic sense of humor, and I generally try to give 100% at whatever I set my mind to do. I love to cook and bake, and make a lot of things from scratch just because they taste better. I grew up in the country and I love my roots.

Outside of work I'm pretty involved as a Civil War Living Historian (aka Civil War Reenactor). It's fun and I'm constantly getting to learn new things and see historic sites that not a lot of people get to experience. I also take yoga and meditation classes, and travel periodically to visit family and friends out of town. I like to quilt and sew when I have extra time too.

being there when someone needs me. I'm dependable and trustworthy, personally and professionally.

My smile :) or my bright blue eyes.

Lets see...
Favorite book - I'm a little behind on reading since it's usually the last thing on the list, but mostly I read Civil War books.

Favorite movies - Blazing Saddles, Dirty Dancing - and just about any action or comedy.

Favorite music - Gary Allan, Sugarland, Toby Keith, Jason Aldean, Journey, Foreigner...my new favorite is Black Keys. I'm kinda all over the map on music, I'll listen to almost anything.

Favorite Shows - NCIS, Duck Dynasty, Big Bang Theory, How I met your Mother, Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters.

Favorite food - Sweets of any kind! My favorite breakfast is a sesame bagel with peanut butter. I like italian, mediterranean, german cuisine all rank up at the top of my list.

Coffee! My friends & my family. Laughter (a really good belly laugh), and I guess I'll have to think about the rest...

how to better myself. Be it aiming for new goals at work, or pushing myself to do new things.

either driving to a Civil War Battlefield for an event or meeting up with friends/family. Sometimes it feels great to just stay home and watch movies.

I don't watch horror movies because I get nightmares... or my mind runs away with itself, lol.

you want to get to know me better. I'm sure I can't tell you everything in a couple questions, so if you want to know more about me, just ask!
