About Me

I grew up in Holland, Michigan...home of the Stem Festival...I mean, Tulip Festival. After graduating college, I moved to Chicago to teach. It was a challenge for me to get out of my comfort zone and figure out who I really was. Four years later, I am still in the suburbs of Chicago, still teaching, and still working on who I am and who I want to become. However, I think I finally have a pretty good handle on it. I am a smart, fun-loving girl who loves being herself. I will always be a little bit goofy, a little bit crazy, and most of all, a little kid at heart. I am not perfect, nor do I pretend to have all of life's answers. But I have learned that the people we meet, and the situations we face help mold us into who God has intended us to be. I owe a lot of who I am to the people in my life who have always been there for me and picked me up when I have fallen down. I am blessed to have a wonderful and loving family, incredible friends, and an amazing man named Kevin in my life. I am finally really happy to just be me...
