I'm the oldest of five, the daughter of a chemical engineer father and an MA in English mother. I received none of the science/math/engineering genes. I enjoy ballet and ballroom dance and am obsessed with any and all quotes that speak to me, as well as all Jane Austen heroes and Jimmy Stewart.

I am a patriotic American and Church History nerd. Two of my favorite places are Nauvoo, IL, and Gettysburg, PA. After I graduate, it looks like I'll keep going to school . . .
