Introduction	I married my high school sweetheart…sort of. We dated in high school, I got dumped in a note and then he “begged for me back” after college. If you ask him…it was the other way around! • I’m a mom to the most amazing kids in the world. MDB, my son, is nearing 4 and my daughter Ellie (as I lovingly call her) just turned 2. My third baby is my precious shitzu-poodle mix, Bailey • I’ve had the same job for over 11 years…sort of. I’ve worked at Edelman for 11 years. Five years were spent doing consumer PR and now HR. Not many employers would go for that…did I mention my company is AWESOME!? • I graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism • I was born in Dallas, Texas. My parents claim we moved when I started speaking with a southern drawl. • I’m a pretty anxious person. Having kids has brought out the worrier in me like nothing else. Everyday brings something new when it comes to the health and safety of my kids…it keeps me up at night • I HATE to exercise. People say, “I loved running the marathon” or “I need to work out to feel better”…I just don’t get it. • I am over-the-top, need-to-seek-help OBSESSED with my days in summer camp.
Interests	Fighting for a chemical-free world, kids, family, The Food Network, Reality TV, Candy…the real, sugary stuff that only kids like, big news events, redefining myself
