FUN FACTS About me!

  • I'm a former certified medical assistant & phlebotomist (currently certified). Once upon a time, I aspired to be an L&D nurse.
  • Shoes have no place in my life.
  • I think of myself as a semi-crunchy, natural parent. A little traditional, a whole lotta "give me all of the herbs, essential oils, + organic things!"
  • Inspirational & motivational Podcasts, Talk Radio, and some good ol' 90's throwback jams, please!
  • I think working on your birthday should be outlawed!
  • Road trips, beaches, mountain views, and a cabin in the woods are my favorite pastimes.
  • Chips and fries are my guilty pleasure.
  • Currently living that plant-based life!
