The summer before last, I drove across the country for one month, mainly staying in the south. My boyfriend and I decided to go to as many college football games as we could on the trip! I love the south, definitely could see myself living out there. I also love yoga, strength training and running outdoors. My absolute number one passion is riding horses.

Favorite TV show(s) and why: America’s Next Top Model, Real World and I have to say…Jersey Shore. ANTM is just fun and Real World and Jersey Shore is purely entertaining. Entourage and Family Feud are awesome too.

Favorite Holiday: 4^th of July because I love summer, hot dogs, beer and fireworks!

What made you want to become a teacher?: A couple of my teachers in elementary school have inspired me. It also helped that I use to play “teacher” as a kid. (I loved giving spelling tests!)
