I was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I am a die-hard Green Bay Packer fan! My husband’s name is Brad an the is an accountant from St. Louis, MO. I have two sisters, one brother and the most supportive parents. My family has a 12-year-old puppy, (he will always be a puppy to me) a bichon poodle, named Wilson. Wilson is the king of the castle and I love spending time with him. My husband and I are getting a Bernedoodle puppy in early 2021! In my free time, I enjoy cooking, soccer, yoga, training for half marathons, trying the newest restaurants around town, and being outdoors. Some of my guilty pleasures include the show COPS, Great British Bake Show and ravioli on the Almalfi Coast. REFERENCES
