I'm adventurous with a good dose of practicality. I tend to approach things logically. I'm open-minded and try to see the best in people. I can hold my own in just about any situation. I love dressing up just as much as I love a lazy Sunday in my pjs. I love trying new things and exploring new places. I've been fortunate in my travel opportunities. I want to see the world, and I think I'm well on my way. I do want to visit every continent; I only have have one more to go. My work schedule allows me the time to travel, and I'm frugal enough to afford the trips I want to take. While I may be planning my next adventure, I truly love Chicago and everything we have here. We all have different aspects to our personality and different hats we wear, depending on the situation. I know when to wear the responsibility cap and when I can toss it in the corner. We only live this life once, so carpe diem. Make the most of each day and try to live with no regrets.

I love playing volleyball, dancing salsa, and attending Sox games (I wish the Cubs well, but if it's Sox vs. Cubs, I'm pulling for the Sox). I root for the Bears, and hope the Blackhawks win that Stanley Cup. I enjoy playing tennis, but my skills need practice. I love skiing, but don't go very often. I love gathering with friends for a game night. I like to cook, but hate doing the dishes. My mood determines the music I listen to which encompasses a variety of genres. I grew up in the greater Chicagoland area. I come from a close-knit and vocal family, and I have a great group of friends.
