Get Your Own! | View SlideshowI grew up outside of Chicago and lived there until I moved to South Florida to go to Florida Atlantic Universtiy. I spent two crazy years down there having a great time with my girls on the Dance Team, then moved to the ATL and finished school here. I was extremely fortunate to find a great job in my field right out of school (everyone should be so lucky!!) and almost two years later I am still loving it. Not everyone gets to wear jeans and a t-shirt to work every day and manage spring break promotions on the beach in their bathing suit …AND GET PAID TO DO IT! I love life and living it to the fullest- I think it is all about the memories that you make with the people in your life that really matter the most. I am extremely driven and goal oriented. (stubborn?!) Anyone who knows me will tell you that when I make a decision to do something, I will not stop until I do. Somehow I always make it work…. I strive for success, and always measure my self by my own accomplishments. I have been told I am sarcastic- but it’s all in good fun I promise!! I love to laugh, and if you get to know me well enough you will be sure to see me make an ass out of myself- I am most happy when I’m taking a dance class- sweating my ass off, and getting lost in the music and the movement. I am definitely a “GO” person- I like to do things, but I also love lying by the pool, lying in bed on the weekends, and cuddling on the couch watching a great football game. I really enjoy cooking a big diner on Sunday nights (I’m getting better at the cooking part) and relaxing with a glass of wine- but breakfast is definitely my favorite meal, and a great brunch is hard to beat! Nights out on the town with the Girls are always a blast, but I can have just as much fun hanging around the house with a close group of friends. I miss my girls back in Chi Town- and all the girls from the dance team- but we stay close and I see them as much as I can- I have a great group of friends here in Atlanta that I wouldn’t trade for the world! I am super close with my family and love my brother and sister more than anything. I think it is incredible that we are so close and can have a great time together.***Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away***Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget the ones that don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.***Happiness is not found at the end of the road, it is experienced along the way-So take not for granted each moment of your life and you will find a reason to be happy each day***
