About Me

I recently celebrated my two year anniversary in San Diego after making the "big move" from Minneapolis. I came here with with my girl Sarah, so yes, we will have stories! Whether it's another ladies drink free night (careful if you give me a camera!), getting lapdances from waitors, discovering what a soft shell taco really is at 2am, ordering steak in Chicago at 3am, holding each other up at the bar/in the street/ on an escalator.., having deep discussions in the bathroom (thanks for all the advice Sarah!), or a night of sleepwalking and spooning, it will be quite an experience. And of course, we will recap the stories from the night before (or at least the ones we remember) the next morning at brunch. I love to surround myself with fun, energetic and positive people, that will force me to break out of my comfort zone and do something I would normally never do. A certain night at a male strip contest would be a great example... I am definitely a peacemaker, I hate conflict and drama, and will always be there for my girls, they mean the world to me.A key factor in me moving out here was to pursue a career in a field I have always had a strong passion for, and a career I hope to find while I'm out here, television broadcasting. Througout the past several years, I have appeared in local television commercials and been an on-field interviewer. I absolutely love it!! I currently work for Tony Robbins, where I couldn't imagine having a better and more positive working atmosphere. I work in our Creative department, where I put my creative and journalistic skills to work. I love a challenge, and this role has helped me grow and let me understand all elements of our company, including getting inside Tony's head and all of his random ideas. It's fortunate I love to multi-task and a fast paced environment, because my days literally always change within a second. It's already been a lot of fun, and this upcoming year I will be taking on more projects and events, which includes a lot more time on the road and out of the office!I absolutely have a strong love for traveling. I just spent the past couple months in an out of the airport, whether it was going to visit family and friends in MN, or making multiple trips to Vegas (for the third year in a row!). I think I'm still trying to catch up on lost sleep! I am so excited for my upcoming trip to Barcelona and Paris in February, and to travel again to Australia this April. Hopefully I can swing by New Zealand and Sydney for a couple days and explore there too. I will take advantage of any and all opportunities to travel to an area I have never been to before, and I'm sure there will be many more cities on my itinerary before the end of the year!

My Interests

I love to travel, dance, work out, and watch movies! I also love socializing and drinking with all of my friends every week!

I'd like to meet:

Fun, easygoing people who like to go out to have a good time! If they can make me smile and laugh, always a plus!

Music:

I love music that gets me ready for a night out. I listen to all kinds of music, but mainly top 40, hip hop, and R&B. If I can dance to it, chances are I'm going to like it! The only type of music you won't see me listening to is country, buying a country album is just never going to happen.

Movies:

Hitch, Wedding Crashers, The Departed, The Notebook, Blood Diamond, there's so many. I enjoy any movie that makes me laugh throughout the entire movie, or has a crazy twist at the end that I never saw coming!

Television:

Sex and the City, So You Think You Can Dance, Desperate Housewives, Greys Anatomy, America's Next Top Model, and yes, I do watch the news every day!

Books:

I haven't really had time to read any books lately, so the closest to reading a book would be my Cosmopolitan. Sad, but true!

Heroes:

My sister, whose life resembles what true self discipline and determination is
