About Me


"Beauty is no end in itself, but if it makes our lives less miserable so that we may be more kind-well, then, let's have beauty, painted on our porcelain, hanging on our walls, ringing through our stories. We are a sorry tribe of beasts. We need all the help we can get." - Gregory Maguire

I am:

a PADI scuba instructor

loved by the most amazing man I have ever met.

clumsy

loyal

friendly

sheltered

natural - from my hair color to my rack!

adventurous

vain

thankful for my friends

living the life I have always dreamed of

a SCUBA diver, a martial artist, and a newbie surfer

Someday I will:
travel the world and teach SCUBA

People mistake my sunny personality for naivete and innocence. They couldn't be more wrong!

My Interests

You'll find me at the beach, either underwater, trying to surf, or on the beach enjoying a cerveza with my friends! If I am not in the water, I'll be tucked away somewhere with my book or playing some music with my band, Small Hope.I like sharks.

I'd like to meet:


Jennifer Garner, JJ Abrams, Tucker Max and Stephen King.

Music:

I like listening to anything that I can dance to or sing along with. Sublime is my all time favorite band. I also love Jack Johnson, Bob Marley, Matisyahu, and Il Divo.

Movies:

Zoolander is one of my all time favorite movies. I also like Fight Club, Ever After, Snatch, 300, Batman Begins, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Elektra -- basically anything with Vince Vaughn, Audrey Hepburn, Brad Pitt or Jennifer Garner. My favorite martial arts film is Ong Bak.

I'm a girly girl. So sue me.

Television:

Heroes, House, Grey's Anatomy and FOOTBALL!

Take a chance, you just may meet the love of your life.

Books:

My entire life was changed when Loren gave me the copy of his favorite book to read. A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffet inspired me to quit a job that I hated to pursue my dream of doing something I love. Loren and I took this inspiration and turned it into our career as professional scuba divers. So thanks, Jimmy! I am also a super fanatic of Stephen King's Dark Tower series, if it do ya.I recommend that every person on this planet reads I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max. It is completely reprehensible and the funniest thing I have seen on paper. Check out more at www.tuckermax.comI'll read anything with words and would rather read than do a lot of other things. Harry Potter, anything by Kate McAlister, chick lit and anything classic. I love Jane Austen books!

If you don't have haters, you're not doing something right!

Heroes:


My parents for making me a decent human being.

My Nan for teaching me class.

My Uncle Tony for showing me what true courage really is.

My big brother, Tyler, for fighting for our country. Keep your head down, bro!

Stupid Ears

So Friday I descend to 192 feet, which was freaking fantastic. Then I do a second dive to 15 feet with some resort divers and I blow one of my ears out.  No major or lasting eardrum damage, accor...
