I was born in Oklahoma and have lived in nine states and two countries. 

 

​I love animals and grew up with dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and fish. I wish I could have had a horse and a whale and an eagle, too, but our space was limited. 

​

After I saw the movie Top Gun, I wanted to be a fighter pilot. I still love planes, even if I never become a pilot. (That's me daydreaming about flying at the age of ten.)

​

My brother and I were almost struck by lightning. We were under a giant tree during a storm trying to wrangle our escaped dog back into her kennel when a bolt hit the tree right above us. We learned firsthand why you don’t stand under trees in thunderstorms. 

​

Speaking of weather, I used to think clouds could fall on my head, and I'd run from any that came too close.
