A little about me : )

I live near Summit Mall in Akron, Ohio; though I grew up in Parma Heights, Ohio. I was home-schooled from fifth grade on and graduated from high school in 2002. I attended Stark State College for my first two years and finished my degree at Walsh University in 2003. I have a B.S. degree in Early Childhood Education (PS-3), Early Childhood Intervention Specialist (PS-3) and a Reading Endorsement (K-12). I received my master’s degree in Intervention Specialist (K-12) with a Gifted Endorsement (K-12) from Kent State University in 2008.

My boyfriend, Geoff, lives in Beloit, Ohio; we have been dating since June 2008. We enjoy helping out with Habitat for Humanity houses on the weekends; we have been able to meet many new people and hear about some great stories of blessings in their lives. Geoff enjoys racing stock cars; I have been able to experience some new and exciting things. This past summer I actually raced one of Geoff's older race cars at the Deerfield Raceway Circle Track where Geoff races. It was a blast and quite a rush. I have also helped him with building the cars and so I have been able to learn so much about cars. We also enjoy watching football and spending time outside. Geoff and I are very involved with our church, The Chapel, we love to serve together and help out where ever is needed.

I also have two sisters, Maureen and Anne, I am the oldest. My family has always enjoyed being outside, especially in the fall. We enjoy sitting around a fire and camping. My favorite family tradition is Fourth of July; we love to pack up some of our favorite snacks and watch the fireworks at Lakewood Park. My sisters and I like to watch movies when we can and catch up on our lives. Maureen is a cosmetologist and Anne is a nanny. My father, Arnie, has a construction business and my mother, Maureen, also watches children. Children have been around my house for most of my life; I think that is why I like kids so much!
