Hometown: Spokane
Years with Shock: Rookie

Best part about living in Spokane: Its diversity between weather, neighborhoods, and things to do.
Favorite thing to do in Spokane: Definitely spending a summer day downtown! I love soaking up the sunshine, window shopping, people watching, and just enjoying the beauty of Spokane.
Favorite restaurant: I am a Zip’s Drive-In fan!

What song do you have to sing along to when it comes on? Any Queen song, but my favorite is Bohemian Rhapsody!
Favorite possession: My Bunna, she’s a stuffed bunny that I’ve had for as long as I can remember and brings comfort to me when I’m feeling down.
Favorite book: I just recently read Racing in the Rain and fell in love with the narrator Enzo, the family dog.
Favorite quote: “Some people complain because the roses have thorns. Others give thanks because the thorns have roses.”
Favorite superhero: I admire the femininity and composure that Catwoman possesses. I know she’s more of a villain, but that still counts, right?

What are three things you still want to accomplish? That’s easy, I want to find a suitable career for myself, get married, and raise a family how my parents raised me.
What is the best advice you’ve ever been given? When you let others down, you’re really letting yourself down.

Biggest pet peeve: Complainers! You’re not going to make anything better by whining!
Most embarrassing moment: In 5th grade, I thought I broke both arms after falling over Alexa at Roller Valley. They cleared the floor while two hundred 10-year-olds watched me get carried off the roller rink. I remember being more embarrassed than in pain, but the worst part was that I had only bruised my arm after the whole scene. To this day, I refuse to go back to Roller Valley.
What’s something most people wouldn’t guess about you? I’m a big rock fan, anything from 80’s rock, to alternative rock, to heavy metal.
What are your top three songs on your iPod playlist? “Girls on the Dance Floor,” by LMFAO; “Hand in My Pocket,” by Alanis Morsette; and “Imagine,” by John Lennon.

What was your first summer job? Working at Starbucks. I love working with both coffee and people.
When you were 15, who did you have a crush on? I’ve had the biggest crush on John Travolta since I saw Grease!
Favorite thing about summer: Going to the lake with my family on the fourth of July.
I wish I knew how to drive a motorcycle. One day!
