I grew up in Alton, IL which sits right across the river from STL. I’ve lived there my whole life and love the beauty of Alton’s scenery. My family and I are very close. I have one sister Katie, who is almost 18 years old. I have 19 cousins, so getting together with all of them is always fun and exciting. You never know what’s going to happen when we are all together.

One of my favorite things to do is be outside. I’m a very active person so going hiking, biking or running outdoors fulfills my two favorite things all in one. I also try and do my part to be a sustainable person for the earth. I believe we are given one world and we should try to take care of it as best we can.
What are some important things to me? I think it is important to work hard every day at everything I do. If you work as hard as you can at something, you will eventually see the results. Give 110% and you will be rewarded. I also believe it is important to try new things every day. A person is given one life to live. When I am 80 years old, I want to be able to say, “Wow did I live or what?”
What are my passions? I love to cook. It gives me such a release from the real world. When I cook something new, and it turns out incredibly delicious, it is an amazing feeling. Foodnetwork has become my TV show addiction. I also enjoy writing. I chose to go into public relations because of that fact and that I love to meet new people and communicate with them. I am very outgoing so I think that will work to my advantage when I work in PR. I also love to volunteer my time to those who are less fortunate than I. I feel that I have been blessed with an incredible life, so giving back is very important to me.
