1. I’m a Texan at Heart

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I’m a proud southerner who now calls the Midwest home. While I’ve adapted to the snowy winters, nothing beats the warmth of Texas sunsets (and yes, the food too!). Sometimes I do miss the beach life and hurricane seasons, which leads me to….

2. I’m a weather geek

Yes, I enjoy tracking bad weather like winter storms and hurricanes. Watching how Mother Nature works is truly amazing. I often tune into YouTube live streams of storm chasers while working or reading. And when it’s raining, those live streams double as the perfect ASMR background.

3. Army Brat

My dad was in the Army, which is how I ended up in the Midwest. Growing up in a military family taught me adaptability and gave me a unique perspective on life.

4. I Have Asperger’s

Life with Asperger’s has been complicated. I’m in my late 30s and have FINALLY accepted this part of my life. Asperger’s made my social life, especially at school, a living hell. Now, I honestly don’t give a crap what anyone thinks about it. It’s something I’ve learned to deal with, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

5. I’m a Virtual Pet Enthusiast

’ve got a collection of Giga Pets and Tamagotchis that I still use to this day. They’re not just nostalgic—they’re part of my relaxation routine.

6. I Used to Be a Trucker

For a short time, I spent some time over the road after a business I did web design for went belly up. I was always fascinated with the lifestyle after listening to my dad’s stories when he drove. I never pictured myself actually operating one of those 80,000-pound killing machines!

7. I’m a Crossword Junkie

Puzzles like crosswords, word searches, and Sudoku are my jam. They keep my mind sharp and are perfect for unwinding after a long day.

8. I Used to Be a Music Major

After realizing music wouldn’t make me a steady income, I decided to pursue a STEM degree. It wasn’t an awful choice, but then 2020 happened…

9. I Used to Run Track

I wasn’t the fastest runner, but I kicked ass in field events, like the discus. I ran 5ks up until a few years ago. A back injury has made sure I never run again…

10. I love Wingstop (more like obsessed!!)

They have the best hot wings and fries, but I miss their rolls…
