Pets I have at home include 3 dogs and 13 baby chicks.

My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian because I love animals.

In my spare time, I take long walks, ride my bicycle, read, garden, shop, and spend time with my family and friends.

To satisfy my sweet tooth, I enjoy coffee and anything chocolate.

When it comes to sports, I love softball. I coached several levels for many years and enjoy playing on a co-ed team here at Penn State. I enjoy attending sporting events rather than watching them on television. I'm a huge Penn State wrestling fan - I haven't missed a home match in 7 years!
