I'm starting my third year as an English teacher in Arizona. I live and work on an Apache Reservation and absolutely love it. It has been an amazing experience.

I recently got married to the most wonderful man I have ever met. Chris and I are enjoying life as a married couple!

I grew up in Michigan and moved to Arizona shortly after graduating from WMU. I miss my family and friends so much and can't wait until Chris and I are able to move back home.

Scrapbooking is my biggest hobby, but I also love to read and write. I am trying to turn myself into a greenthumb and love to take care of my plants and garden. I have the most amazing "back yard" perfect for hiking, camping, and nature in general. I swam in high school and still love to be in the pool. Although that happens very little.

My biggest passion is my career as a teacher, but coming in at a VERY close second is the environment. I do everything I can to help preserve what we have left. I don't understand how people can be so ignorant when it comes to our Mother Earth.
