Born and raised in Hammond, IN, just outside of Chicago, I've always had a passion for country music. Until recently, I wasn't sure how to use that to my advantage. Some of my favorite artists include Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Kip Moore, Dolly and Garth, but I can remember constantly listening to others in my dad's truck. My favorite place to be is Nashville, so I'm very thankful that my job allows me to go often. I'm an extremely picky eater and hate trying new things. Going to see live music is my favorite. I like to hunt but refuse to do the dirty work, SHOCKER! My mom put me in dance when I was 6 and I instantly fell in love. I know how to laugh at myself and have a good time, and I try not to take things too seriously. I've learned that nothing will make you happy unless you're doing it under your own terms, which also taught me to make the best of every situation.
