I became a foster parent of orphan kittens this spring, and promptly became a “foster fail” after applying to adopt one of the kittens forever.
I met my husband Antonio in concrete mixing lab class at the University of Michigan.
Because of Antonio, I now ride the back of a harley and hang out in a boxing gym (he makes life WAY more interesting)
I finished all my high school classes early and got a full time job working at Canadian Tire for the last semester of grade 12. I honestly have no idea what I did with the money.
I am a volunteer coach at the University of Michigan, women’s track & XC. I am also a personal coach for individuals who want to improve their running – huge range of abilities and goals. There are few things more inspiring than someone who makes a commitment, learns discipline, does the work, and then achieves their goal.
