My life is a collection of unwise decisions turned into blessings, heartbreak turned into healing, and love in the most unconditional form. I am the firstborn of four strong-willed children who were destined to be cared for and loved by my sweet and very determined single mother. My role as a daughter and big sister has significantly shaped and molded me into the woman I am proud to be today. I am a lover, a fighter, a giver, a competitor, a soul searcher, a dreamer, a boss and a best friend. I am ruled by my heartfelt emotions (which to say the very least, isn’t always the best way to be ruled, but it sure is honest!) and I thrive in a sanctuary of peace and quiet, usually accompanied by a Sunday morning, a book and a hot mug of creamy coffee. I am an heir of rich heritage and cultures, spanning from the islands of the pacific up to the rolling hills of Ireland, and I am forever grateful for the influence of my ancestors in my appearance, my actions and especially in my heart. I dream of having a career that fills me with joy and purpose and utilizes my best talents while experiencing the magic of far off lands, creating a life of wonderful memories with the man I love, and one day passing on the most cherished parts of who we are to little ones that we will be honored to fiercely love and care for.
