ABOUT ME
 I grew up in northern Iowa and though I haven’t lived there in more than 10 years, I still consider it home. Currently I live in Plano, Texas with my husband and two dogs. We moved to Texas from Kansas City, MO in order for me to pursue my PhD. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports with my husband - though we don’t always root for the same team - and taking advantage of the never-ending golf season here in Texas! We enjoy going north to Missouri and Iowa to visit our families and friends, as well as having them come visit us. Ever the photo-enthusiast, I enjoy documenting those trips with photographs! We also host a golf tournament in honor of my brother every July to raise money for scholarships and charities he supported.
