Background cont… I was born at Roper St. Francis Hospital in Charleston, SC

on April 16, 1987. I grew up in Summerville, SC-lived there for my entire

childhood and through college. I went to a private school all through grade school and

high school and then went to a private, Christian college. I played sports all through middle school and high school-

volleyball, basketball, and softball. I also attended AWANA for several years at my school’s

church. My sister and I are about 3 years apart. Like every other

family, we had our sibling rivalry in middle and high school, but now that we are older, we are good friends.

I loved growing up in Charleston/Summerville, SC and would not change that for anything!

My Family My parents have been happily married for

28 years. My sister stays busy between taking care

of her two boys and working part time. Both of my parents are originally from

Indiana and so we all are Indianapolis Colts fans!

I do have a few family members in Florida and Illinois, but the majority of them are in Indiana and South Carolina.

What I like to do for FUN:

Amusement Parks and Water Parks I absolutely LOVE going to amusement parks and/or water

parks and riding all the big roller coasters and water slides. Miniature Golf

I am very competitive, so I love doing things that involve winning and losing…haha

Bowling I am certainly not a professional bowler, but a night a

bowling with friends is always fun. Movies

Movies have always been my source of “escaping” for just a few hours. I like to watch a movie and just get lost in it and forget about all my worries just for a short time.

I grew up in a Christian home and school.
