I was born…
in Phoenix and grew up in Surprise, AZ!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
it’s where my family is! Can I have two favorites? I also love the hiking trails!
I’m listening to…
The best pandora station ever- The Black Keys. I’m always in the mood for this music whether I’m working out, driving or by the pool! Although, country is my favorite genre.
My family…
members are my best friends. My sister Jackie and I are inseparable
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Megyn Kelly of Fox News. I look up to her as a journalist and a woman who balances both family and career like I hope to do one day. Plus, we were both in the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority!
One thing I cannot live without…
Lip Gloss!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
an actress. I made that a reality when I was once in a Lifetime movie with three whole lines!
I’m inspired by…
the journalists I work with
The one person who motivates me is…
I have two… my parents! I live to make them proud.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
I wish that more people would open their minds. Just because you’ve always thought a certain way, doesn’t mean you’ve always been right.
The perfect day would be…
A lazy day spent with my boyfriend. It would include lots of laughs and frozen yogurt.
My first job was…
a receptionist at my family’s business Keogh Engineering, Inc. in Goodyear.
My favorite escape…
Kaanapali Beach in Maui
My life…
is a series of blessings.
I’m currently working on…
not biting my nails. I can’t believe I haven’t outgrown this yet. Yuck!
Always…
be someone others can count on.
Never…
stop working hard… no matter how comfortable you get.
Favorite Quote…
“If you can dream it, you can do it”-Walt Disney I truly believe that.
Biggest Dream…
Being a good journalist, wife and mother all at the same time! I want to have it all.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
when I hear someone call themself an “idiot”, lack of turn signal usage, gossip
