FUN FACTS
· I grew up in rural Iowa. This means I have a strong work ethic, like corn on the cob, tolerate extreme weather, and have been to several rodeos.
· I love bubble gum and can blow a mean bubble.
· In second grade, I started a Save the Planet Club with my best friend Rae Danneman. We wrote a newspaper on environmental issues and sold it to our neighbors for ten cents. The club's profits were spent on candy.
· Growing up, my grandmother lived next to my family. She always had Little Debbie snacks, told the best stories, and lied about her “homemade” bread. She once had a dream Osama Bin Laden was hiding under her kitchen sink.
· I am completely incapable of staying angry. It is not an emotion I prefer to sit with.
· I deal with stress by exercising. As a result, I own an obscene amount of fitness DVDs.
· I have a dog named, Vonnegut. I treat him like a human child. I realize this is unhealthy for us both.
· My dad taught me compassion and my mom taught me to believe in people’s ability to change.
· I attract awkward situations. Always have, always will.
· I do not like to give up on people.
· I laugh a lot.
· I do capoeira.
· I have sisters in Utah, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. None of us share the same eye or hair color.
· I have worked as a custodian, makeup artist, substitute teacher, waitress, and I made pizzas in the back of a gas station.
· I ran a marathon. This demonstrates that I am persistent and that I can run very slow for a very long time.
