Birthday: November 19

Hometown: Palm Harbor/Tampa, FL

Favorite Crayola color: Pacific Blue

Background: I'm currently enrolled in Florida State University; I received my Associates in Arts degree from St. Petersburg College. My first job was in Shapes Daycare, where we would entertain various kids every night. When I was in high school, I volunteered in the Big Brothers Big Sisters club, and was a "Big Sister" to a girl named Samantha, from 3rd grade to 5th grade.

Future plans: I want to have kids of my own one day. In the meantime, I’m working to graduate from Florida State with a PhD in Ethics to become a Professor.

When she's not babysitting: I really enjoy trying new things. I like relaxing at the pool on the weekend with a few friends. My roommates and I cook chicken dinners together. And I love going to the movies, especially scary ones, though it’s hard to find someone to go with me!
