Where did you go to school?

IUPUI campus. I have a degree in event planning.

Have you always lived in Indiana?

No, I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as a child, then my family moved to Johnson City, TN. Later on in life, my aunt and uncle who were both missionaries asked me to come along with them on a trip to Africa where I lived 6 months of my life!! Then I later came to Indiana where I have now settled.

What is your favorite guilty pleasure food?

That would have to be cherry pie!
