I married my best friend, Mike in September of 2011. I know it sounds cliche, but he really is the person that I can turn to about anything. He is so strong-willed and driven. He definitely brings out the best in me and is constantly supporting and encouraging me to dream big. We make a great team - learning from each others strengths and weaknesses - my life would not be complete without him.

In August of 2013, we welcomed a beautiful little girl into our lives. Vada has taught us more than we ever thought possible and has flooded our hearts with love. It is the most incredible experience being a parent – I wish I could put it into words, the excitement, joy and overwhelming emotion that you encounter every single day. She gave me a whole new sense of inspiration.

I am lucky enough to be able to stay home with Vada and watch her curious little mind grow each and every day. We color, read books, have dance parties, then wind down the day with an episode of Ellen. We are thrilled to be welcoming a baby boy this June and can’t wait for the new adventures that are to come!
