Past jobs and/or current hobbies unrelated to your profession:

Past Jobs:

Student help-desk worker (Ohio University)
A-1 Kennel Care worker
Private nanny for family in New Albany
I was a babysitting fool in high school!

Hobbies:

Family: My family is priceless to me. My husband Paul and I have one little girl, Leah. She turned 1 on June 30th, 2006. My mother (Debbie) resides in Coshocton and my two sisters (Kirsten & Sarah) live in Coshocton and Westerville. I have one niece named Kiera. She is almost 3 and 100% ornery.
Piano: (12 years of classical / original compositions)
Coffee: I once looked into starting my own Starbucks, but realized it would cost $400,000.00 to open one tiny shop- ouch! The Starbucks Grande Coffee Light Frappucchino is my “usual”.
Animals: I am a complete animal lover! I have a Shih Tzu named Callie. She is 7 years old and came from an animal rescue in Columbus. She is the ultimate definition of a sweet dog. I don’t think she knows how to growl.
