Originally born in small town Missouri, I have spent most of my life living in the Grand Valley.
I spend most days with my cat Miso, my toothless best friend. For fun I enjoy reading tarot cards and delving into the mystic side of life.
I am heavily involved in the performing arts. I try to act, sing, and dance as much as possible.
