A typical day in my life includes…
waking up early, going to get a coffee, attending my classes at the University of Colorado Boulder, coming home to finish homework and study, and unwinding with a couple episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.
I was born…
in Mesa, Arizona to the two most supportive and loving parents on May 8th, which means I’m a Taurus. I’m a sucker for horoscopes.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the sunsets. They take my breath away and are a constant reminder of how lucky I am to live in Arizona and indulge in all of its natural beauty.
I’m listening to…
James Bay. He’s my favorite on a good day, bad day and everything in between.
My family…
is my everything.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Will Ferrell. I will always have the biggest crush on that man.
One thing I cannot live without…
is my baby blanket. I have been attached to it since the day I was born and to this day, I sleep with it every night.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a doctor, and I still do.
I’m inspired by…
my parents. The two of them would do anything for one another and for our family. They constantly give and provide us with the lessons, values and tools we need to succeed and follow our dreams. I am so incredibly thankful for them
The one person who motivates me is…
my sister, Paige. She works harder than anyone I know, is wise beyond her years and has a heart of gold. She is everything I aspire to be and more, I hope one day she realizes how much her big sis looks up to her.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
judgment. We all bring something so special and unique to this world, that should be appreciated and celebrated instead of criticized.
The perfect day would be…
sitting on a lounge chair in Rosemary Beach, Florida with my family.
My first job was…
teaching jazz and hip-hop dance classes to the “mini” team at Dance Studio 111. Dance was my first passion and I loved sharing it with younger students who were just starting to enter the competitive world of dance.
My favorite escape…
is driving in the car listening to music with absolutely no destination. It facilitates reflecting, thinking and healing.
My life…
is a blessed journey that has already taught, shown and given me so much.
I’m currently working on…
finishing my undergraduate degree in Physiology and minor in Business, then I will take on the next chapter, whatever that may be.
Always…
tell people how much you love them. Life is too short and unpredictable.
Never…
go to bed angry.
Favorite Quote…
“She’s a badass with a big heart.” –r.h. Sin
Biggest Dream…
to live a life of happiness and good health with the people I love most.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
arrogance.
