"Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open." -Elmer Letterman
I was born in Portland, Oregon where most of my family lived at the time. When I was 7 my family moved to Bellevue, Washington where they have lived ever since. My family means a great deal to me, my parents have been very supportive and I am close to my sister, Adrianne, who currently attends Seattle University. She is one of the few girls in the engineering program.
I went to Sacred Heart and Eastside Catholic High School for my K-12 education. I have been fortunate to have met great friends in my early years who I am still friends with today. I feel very lucky to have them in my life.
My personal passion is playing basketball. I have been playing my entire life and love the thrill of competition. I also enjoy watching movies, listening to music(especially live!), playing games, keeping up on current issues, and reading comic books.
