Fun facts:

I love running 5ks and 10ks and only do so for fun. I am not interested in running further because it won't be fun anymore. I love traveling... some of my favorite places are Santa Rosa, CA, Asheville, NC, Marquette, MI, Traverse City, MI and am very excited to go to Universal Studios in 2018! I love Harry Potter. I love all kinds of music. My favorite band is the Foo Fighters. I live northwest of Detroit, MI and travel 208 miles to Terra and back when I am here.
