Now that you've stumbled upon this page, you have the opportunity to learn more about me than you will ever want or need to know. I began this page for a class at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, from where I'll graduate in May.
Born May 10, 1974, I grew up in the Northwest region of Indiana, in a Chicago suburb called Munster. (No jokes, please.) I had the privilege of being the only female child: I have three brothers. They're not very interesting, so we won't talk about them much.
I will graduate with a double major in journalism and mass communication, as well as in psychology. Psych is mostly just for fun, but I got my first taste of reporting as a sophomore in high school. Click here to see my resume.
As part of my Journalism 50 class, we had to create a home page, do a bunch of research and put that research on the web. For my advanced personality theory class, we ahd to psychoanalyze a famous person. I figured I'd combine the two. Hailing from near Chicago and a rabid Bulls fan, I thought Michael Jordan was a natural choice.
Me and two of my best buds. Former college roommate Amy Bailey is on the left, and current college housemate Jeni Cook is on the right. I'm the short, cute one in the middle. Click on the picture to see my full photo page on the Web.
