I just started a whole new chapter in my life! I just recently underwent back surgery to correct my scoliosis that I have been dealing with since I was 13. It has slowed me down and opened my eyes to a lot of things I was going too fast to see before. I am definitely a laid back kind of person who can get along with almost anyone. I love hanging out with my friends, family. They are all very important to me! I have a wide variety of hobbies and interests. I'm really big on staying in shape and I love learning about how to be healthier. I enjoy doing crafts particularly crocheting, as well as baking, and being involved with nature. I like to fish, camp, kayak, and more. Also I really like to be involved in the community via volunteering and doing my part to make a difference in the world. I'm in college pursuing a Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy. I can't wait until I'm done so then I can get paid to do something I love-helping people. Also I am a former Officer of the Beta Lambda Kappa, Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society at Macomb Community College. I love it and the opportunity it gave me to meet many great new people as well as get involved more in the community.
I live my life by these 3 words=
