I am embarking upon my 30th year of life and looking to make a fresh, healthy, and active start by accomplishing my fitness goals. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Creative Writing from the University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign and am currently a Writing Instructor at a high school in the Northwest suburbs as well as a Playwright and Producer in my spare time. I have 3 children, ages 6, 5, and 3 and I hope to show them how important health is and how focus, dedication, persistence, and hardwork are the ultimate payoffs in reaching one's goals. I also love to travel, preferably outside of the country, and look forward to taking a trip to Mexico at the end of this summer.
