Hi! my name is...


My interests and hobbies consist of SO many different things. Everything from being a cheerleader for 17 years, to being number 69 out of 350 in PA for bowling, to getting dirty playing field hockey. I've played almsot every sport there is to offer and found that it has kept me on track with my school work and staying active!

My major is communication journalism with emphasis is public relations. I love being around people and interacting with people and with this major I can do just that, provide customer service while being creative.

I love reading and writing, so any English class is okay on my list.

The last book I read was Mediated. It is about how our society is so media driven and so absorbed in this media world that we lose focus on what is realistic compared to what is "ideal."

I love music, it gets me through the happiest and worst times of my life. My favorite band is Dashboard Confessional. Their music has definitely kept me sane during some of the most down points in my life.

My past experiences with "literature" come from literature classes in high school. I don't see a huge difference in a literature class versus an english class, but that is just my opinion. The last thing I remember about literature class is reading A Midsummer Night's Dream. The piece is interesting and kept my attention the entire time, which made a good impression in my mind for "literature" class.

  1. Music has also gotten me through a lot. "As Lovers Go" by Dashboard Confessional used to be one of favorites :) I also really like to read a write, I feel like it's a great way to release stress and completely let go. :)

  2. Although I do enjoy reading, I have specific things I can read such as magazines (ESPN, GQ or Maxim) and maybe the occasional novel. What sort of books interest you?? I really like writing only when it is about topics I choose or deem as important to me. Not so much my life, but the life of those around me and what I see.

  3. I think that it's pretty cool that you are ranked so high in bowling!! That's a pretty interesting fact about you! I also agree with you that being active helps you with concentrating more on school work and such. Being active, you actually feel good about yourself and awake instead of being a couch potato haha! I also love your music choice of Dashboard Confessional..listening to their music also helps me relax when I'm stressed out! I hope to see them in concert someday.

  4. Hey! So I definitely have to agree with Katie here because the fact that you are ranked so high for bowling is awesome. I think it's the coolest thing when people have hidden or unique talents that stand out like that. Also, I love what you had to say about music. A lot of people aren't able to utilize music in that way (during both the best and worst of times), so the fact that you are able to do so is pretty awesome! :) I love being able to find a song that fits my mood just right at the time.
