A bit about me. . .
Here is a word cloud of things I love
I grew up in Billings, Montana.
My heritage taught me to be a strong, independent woman. There's a country song called, "Cowgirls Don't Cry" and that was often the sentiment in our family. We were taught that we could handle more than we were facing. We were also taught never to judge until you walked in another's shoes. These life lessons have helped me get through undergraduate and graduate school, although there certainly have been times when this cowgirl cried under what seemed to be insurmountable stress. But, as my graduate school advisor told me, "pressure makes diamonds!" So here's to a great quarter where we will work hard and have fun, despite times of pressure.
