I was born and raised in Jacksonville. I graduated with a BS in Civil Engineering from the University of Florida. I currently work for the FDOT in the field of Materials Testing. I have a 3 1/2 year old son, who I adore. We enjoy being on the go - everything from visiting art museums, to attending local festivals, to spending time outdoors (whether it's staying at the Springs in Central Florida, playing on the beach, or biking up to the playgrounds in our neighborhood). We also enjoy staying in - reading books, watching movies, or just playing around the house. I love traveling, experiencing and learning about new cultures. I spent a year abroad studying in Italy and had the opportunity to travel. My recent travel has all been in the US, but I'm looking into traveling to Israel this fall.
