I reside smack dab in the middle of Music City. Originally a Florida girl, Nashville was a slight culture shock, and I whine in the winter, don’t leave my house when it snows, but am pleased when we hit 90+ in the summer. I frequently say I want to move back home, but will probably never do it - I'm not sure my sister and I could survive without being in the same area! I hate touristy stuff in Nashville, but can't help but be in love with places like Loveless Cafe & The Ryman Auditorium.

I work for a Healthcare Company just outside of Nashville to keep a lock on health benefits while I finish my degree. I major in Graphic Design, Minor in Photography, and rock a little web-design on the side, and intend to do all three, though my first love is photography. With work, classes, PLN, and photo shoots often – I don't sleep much! Luckily, I do all of my classes online, which frees me up a little so I can run around the states to catch PL's shows.

I: talk too much, am crazily dependent on my Droid, cannot live without my Macbook, spoil my niece Paige (12) and nephew Kadin (9) rotten, am accident prone enough that some of the hospital staff know me by name, text like crazy, visit Starbucks more often than any human being should, have 6 small tattoos (1 being a PL logo), am very close to my (older & only) sister, love my Kentucky Wildcats, and cannot go anywhere with my Nikon glued to my hand.

I was introduced to Patty at a relatively young age, and she played a pretty massive role in my childhood - I often say I don't really remember a life without Patty in it. 200+ shows later, I still think she's the bomb and am apparently set on convincing everyone else that I'm right!



-Do you play a music instrument? I play the banjo I inherited from my Grandfather…. badly.

-Favorite Artists? Aside from Patty, Emmylou Harris, and my future husband even though he doesn't know it yet- Keith Urban. I listen to anything & everything, though, from Patty, Emmylou, Ralph Stanley to stuff like Lady Gaga.
