About Me


I am your habitual, state of Maine, small town raised, big city loving, blue jean wearing nice girl who grew up on a tiny island off the coast of Portland. I have a great family that I love. My friends are wonderful. I am fun, spunky, bright, and crazy.. just not all at the same time. I'm pretty stubborn and I'm overly emotional. I apologize for everything. I give it my all and wear my heart on my sleeve. I am infatuated by the small things and scared of the big things. I secretly wish I could be Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray if they were one person. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I'm indecisive. You really need to know me to understand me. I have a lot to offer, but I'm painfully shy so most people don't get to see that.
