My youth is leaving me; I can never do better than I have done, and I have done nothing yet.--Charlo

About Me

I'm a performer who's originally from Wisconsin. I went to a small liberal arts college in the Midwest, and I am very interested in art, literature, history, and politics. Recently I have been learning how to cook a lot, and I am a very active runner. In fact, I just finished my second marathon! I'll be working in Alaska for Princess Tours until the end of September, and after that, I'll be traveling on a tour of "A Christmas Carol." I like to take vacations a lot, and luckily, I have a nice, smart, and cute boyfriend who also likes to travel.Have a good day!
