I love dancing, singing, acting, basically anything I can do with other people. I do enjoy solitude, but I'm definitely a people person. I love deep tissue massages, going to the movies and I LOVE playing games: CRANIUM, CELEBRITY, HEARTS, SPADES, MAFIA and I have never been on a losing team when playing SCENE IT (except when it was just me by myself against a whole other team of like 5 people and even then I only lost by 1). I'm from Oregon, so I love the outdoors too. My dad would laugh at that because I have been know to overdress for stacking wood, but other than that, if I know I have to rough it, I come prepared. In contrast, I love make-up, hair, fashion and all things girly, but I'm not high maintenance and I love sports too. My dad is a basketball and football coach, so I can't escape it (believe me I've tried). I love going to the theatre: plays, musicals, comedy/improv shows (I'm taking classes at The Groundlings in LA so I love to watch and learn from really good performers). I love, love, love the beach, but I don't "lay out". I actually swim in the ocean when I go and put on 50 SPF because I am fair and don't want a huge melanoma growing on my back.

Heroes:
My parents who have been married for 33 years and are a true testament to committment and love are my two biggest heros. They love each other, their family, their friends and most of all God. They are confident, hardworking dedicated, fun-loving, human beings, who are so welcoming and open and giving to everyone, it truly inspires me everyday. My Aunt Debby is my guardian angel on earth. She is my best friend, my mentor, my idol in so many ways. My worship leader at church, Tommy Walker, is one of my heros because he challenges me each week, just through example, to lead a devoted life and to not settle for less than everything God has for me. He reminds me how much I am loved and he is the most amazing song writer. My "girls," my sister, Kelsey is an absolute doll. God, I love that child. She's another angel - so loyal, sweet, funny, forgiving and beautiful. And my brother, Andy. He is so different from me, but I just love the stuffings right out of him. He is so smart, so funny, so talented (he is a basketball genius, and he plays every other sport brilliantly) and he's so in love with his wife, my new sister-in-law. I love them all!
