Kelsey Waite Marketing Supervisor, Homeowners Financial Group
Age: 27 How would you describe yourself? I’m an active, family-oriented Arizona native who overuses the cry-laughing emoji and is easily won over by dark chocolate. As an avid lover of aerial fitness and flexibility training, you are more likely to find me upside down than rightside up! I live by the Dalai Lama quote, “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” Giving back through the local nonprofit Care Fund makes my heart feel full. What do you love? I love the smell of rain, Sunday brunch with friends, conquering a hike, giving unexpected compliments, Hulu marathons in my new unicorn onesie, warm chocolate chip cookies, feeling butterflies on a date, putting your phone away at dinner, exploring new cities, and a good challenge. What do you dislike? People who bite into string cheese. Where’s the fun in that? Describe your ideal date. I love to laugh, so it would be fun to go to a comedy show or maybe just to dinner if my date thinks he’s up for the challenge with some jokes! What are you looking for in a significant other? I am a planner and always on the go, so I’m looking for someone who can keep up with a busy lifestyle but appreciates a relaxing vacation or cooking dinner at home and isn’t afraid to remind me to stop and smell the roses. Celebrity crush: I love a man with dance moves, so it’s a definite toss-up between Channing Tatum and Stephen “tWitch” Boss! Dating deal-breakers: Lack of chemistry. I keep an open mind with people and believe in compromise, but you can’t force a connection or those dating butterflies! My ideal partner is … motivated, communicative and affectionate. Favorite restaurants: My go-to spots are Sushiholic, Ingo’s Tasty Food, Malee’s Thai Bistro and Olive & Ivy. If you haven’t tried the bottomless brunch at SumoMaya, it’s the bestkept secret in town (well, until now). The food just keeps coming!

Most prized possession: When I was a baby, my mom started a gold charm bracelet for me. Each year until the age of 18, she added a charm relevant to my life and interests that year. It is such a special piece of jewelry as I am very close with my family. I still wear it often!
So Scottsdale! February ‘18
