I am an honest, grounded, fun loving, and caring person who always has a bright outlook on life and a smile on my face. I grew up in a small suburb with a large extended family that always got together to celebrate and because of this my family is very important to me. Without their support there is no way I would be the person I am today. My friends are the greatest and I know I can always rely on them. Whenever we get together you can be sure that there will be lots of laughter and great conversation. My family and friends are a big part of my life. They make me happy, but they push me to be the best that I can be.

I used to be a teacher, but due to the horrible job market, the radical changes and challenges to education, and the general disdain that exists towards teachers I have decided to head in a different direction. I am back in school studying medicine with the intention of heading into nursing. I currently work at Sparrow Hospital and focus on patient care. I believe I have found where I truly belong. I am a very compassionate person so helping people regain their health, teaching how to be healthy, and lead a healthy life makes me feel incredible.

In my spare time you can usually find me working out, reading, watching MSU sports (I am kind of an addict), practicing martial arts, cooking, scuba diving, or hanging out with my friends and family (especially my niece....she is adorable).

Used to be a teacher, but I am now back in school heading into health care. I work at a local hospital and I teach Judo 3 days week.

Cooking, conversation, music, Judo, scuba diving....and the list goes on

The eyes or my politeness.

Movies: Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2, American Psycho, Indiana Jones, Super Troopers, and Inception. I also love horror movies in all their forms.

Shows: Family Guy, The Simpsons, Law and Order SVU

Books: Anything by Steve Berry, Clive Cussler, or Rick Riordan.

Food: Sushi, Mediterranean, and anything Spicy

Music: I like all kinds of music, but my favorites would be rock. My favorite bands are Skillet, Red, Breaking Benjamin, and Dave Matthews.

My family and Friends
My Cell Phone
My faith
A good book
Good conversation
A comfy place to sleep

The future....just like everyone else.

Working, out with friends, doing copious amounts of homework, or catching up on lost sleep.

One of the most embarrassing parts of my life involves me throwing up on the sidewalk in East Lansing in front of an East Lansing Police Officer whom I knew personally.

You can actually hold up your end of the conversation.
