Beyond the Bio

Who is your hero?

My mom.  I know it’s cheesy and predictable coming from a daughter, but I’ve watched her work hard and overcome many of life’s lemons.  She is always there to support me and has been a spectacular role model.

 

If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

San Diego.  The California Coast has always held a special place in my heart.  It’s beautiful there, the lifestyle is wonderful and you can’t beat the ocean and warm weather.  My puppies would love it to!

 

What motivates you to work hard?

I’m extremely competitive.  I mostly like the results from working hard whether it be time spent in the gym resulting in positive changes or time spent on a project that result in an awesome space.  I love the outcome from time spent working hard on something.  Realizing and Visualizing the outcome is what motivates me.

 

What are your hobbies?

I love anything crafty.  I like to create things.  I specifically love working on graphic projects like party stationary and papercrafting.  I also have developed a love for cycling over the past 5 years.
