About Me
 Having just graduated from the University of Kentucky at
the age of 22, I am a very energetic, hard working, “live life
to the fullest” kind of person. I was born and raised in the
big city of Louisville Kentucky where I attended St. Raphael
Grade school and Assumption High School. I have spent
the last four years of my life in Lexington being part of the
“Big Blue Nation.” Throughout my life I have always put my
whole heart into everything I do, whether it was playing
competitive and high school soccer or studying long hours
everyday to make good grades. I come from a large and
religious family that I am very close to.
