I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm enjoying the midwest life in Manhattan, Kansas for one last year. I just got married to the most amazing man who will forever make me smile. Our beagle Nova took the Pepsi challenge and has decided that she prefers sausage to pepperoni any day. My clinical rotations just started and I am busy in the best way. I have apparently forgotten how to tan evenly. I am not now, nor have ever been the following things: cool, edgy, money-savvy, or able to hide my emotions. I will always be: happy, hopeful, laid back, giggle-prone, borderline narcoleptic. I make terrible banana bread but awesome peach cobbler. I wish I could paint or sing, but I'm grateful that I realize I'm terrible at both. Smile at me, and I'll smile back every time.

My Interests

Photography, boxing, cooking, laughing, sometimes running, (preferably with my dog, who runs slower than me, if you can believe that), swimming, hiking, and of course, expanding my knowledge of the animal kingdom. Ah, lest we forget traveling, snorkling, playing frisbee, dodgeball, shopping, and eating. And broomball. Sweet sweet broomball.
