About Me

I graduated from West High in the top 7% of my class... Woot! Now, I'm a sophomore at Hawkeye Community College and I plan to transfer to Iowa State for veterinary medicine after I get my AA in Animal Science. I'm on Kennel Staff at Den Herder's Veterinary Hospital in Waterloo. I worked at Pilgrim Heights Retreat Center, in Montour, this Summer and had a blast guiding my campers. I love my boyfriend, Noel Moriarty! If you want to know more about me, just ask. I'm an open book.

People see love in your eyes. You either love everyone around you ooor...somebody's in loooove, no? Seriously, though... You seem to have a lot of love in your heart right now.
