I feel that when I'm old, I'll look at you and know, the world was beautiful...

About Me




I was born and raised in Iowa. Then moved to Los Angeles at age 20, where I spent five years working as a dancer, singer and model. Only took a break from LA when I moved to the island of Saipan, where I spent a year dancing in a Vegas-style production. Living on Saipan was one of the best experiences of my life. I love to travel and want to see the world.
For now, I live in Phoenix where I am near my family and work for the best team in the NBA. I am also a student and in 2.5 years will have my degree in Elementary Education.

My Interests

CHOREOGRAPHY, Dancing, singing, karate, writing in my journal, Buddhism, TALK RADIO, men's magazines,harleys, kids, animals, the beach, COFFEE SHOPS, dining out,drinking wine,getting dessert,the movie theatre,belly-dancers/dancing, shopping at Target, eating at chain restaurants,walking my dog and pretending she's singing the song that's playing on my IPOD (makes me laugh everytime), magic/illusions, watching beauty pageants.
