After high school, I went to Birmingham-Southern College and majored in Biology with a minor in Theatre Arts. After graduation, I attended The University of Alabama School of Law (trying to figure out what I want to do with my life...) and received my Juris doctorate in 2002. I began working for a pharmaceutical company until my daughter, Avery, was born 3 months premature. I became a stay-at-home Mom after that. Avery is now perfectly healthy. She just had a little growing to do. My life hasn't turned out as I pictured while still in high school; however, I wouldn't change a thing.

I don't have a specific "funny" story or favorite event. I seems I can recall a thousand instances that make me smile and reflect. If I could go back to that time, knowing what I know now, I believe things would have been alot different. For one thing, I would have had even more fun than I did and would have tried not to take myself too seriously. No matter how much I may have complained about events or certain people, it was still one of the best times in my life. Oddly enough, whenever I have crazy dreams, it usually involves people from high school (people I haven't seen in years) and not those people I befriended in college. I like to believe it's because the friends you make growing up and in high school, are the friends who would be there for you no matter what-even if time and distance seperates you for quite awhile.
