About Me

i was born and raised a socal surfer girl, but now my heart belongs to the the bay area. i work as an elementary school teaching assistant... i am a kid at heart, so it's a perfect fit. i've perfected the art of being a professional student... there are just too many schools to list. but i am planning on getting my degree in child and adolescent development and going into teaching... really, i swear!!!

thanks to the training and support of team in training, i completed my first marathon in october, the nike women's marathon here in san francisco. and now, i'm totally addicted. next up are the kaiser permanente half marathon here in san francisco in february and the los angeles marathon in march.

Your part is easy...

bittersweet

quite exciting seeing usc in the sweet 16. but the last 10 minutes of that game were heartbreaking... north carolina really turned it on in the end, perhaps their strategy all along. and now since t...
