I AM

» A proud dog mom to a mini labradoodle named Finn » Afraid of bridges but also bungee jumped off of one that was 200 feet tall » A Boilermaker at heart, despite my IU law degree » A native Chicagoan » The type of traveler who travels only to eat great local food » A serial plant killer – from succulents to bonsais, none are safe from me » Very good at euchre » A Bachelor and Bachelorette enthusiast who hosts watch parties at my apartment every Monday » A natural ginger – with big thanks to my Irish grandma for those rare genes » A chronic multitasker

I AM
