“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” A youth soccer coach said it to me once and it stuck.

Arizona with my fiancé. We visited friends and hiked through Phoenix, Sedona and Page. I highly recommend it.

DIY house projects. I love a good fresh coat of paint, changing decor and revamping a space.
What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?
My first date with my fiancé was tickets to jump out of a plane. I lucked out and it was too windy. A year later we jumped over California. What a rush!

Pizza Hut stuffed crust.

Drink a Hint water. Watermelon and blackberry are my favorite.

Accidentally drop my Oreos when dunking them in my milk.
