Would you like to share a bit about your family? Kids, fur babies, significant other, etc. What do they do that makes you proud?
Brian and I got married almost 10 years ago in Rome, Italy. We have two kids Andrew (8) in second grade and Emma (5) in Kindergarten. It is such a blessing to watch them grow up into these amazing little human beings. Brian is an attorney and owns his own law firm with his partner Lance. We also own another company called Lakecliff Ventures that invests in start-ups and other projects. I can't forget about our one-year-old golden retriever named Dash. The kids love and adore him and it is so wonderful to watch him return the love.
Did you go to college? Where did you go? What did you study?
Yes, Pennsylvania State University in State College, PA. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology.
What have you been up to since graduation/the last reunion?
After college I worked at St. David's Hospital in their outpatient physical therapy department. I worked there until I had my kids and now I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom.
Share a fun fact about yourself. Maybe something we wouldn't know about you.
I have run four marathons and numerous half marathons. I even ran a half marathon with Mr. Hayden and we both won our age groups.
