From Lakeland Community College, we both ended up switching majors and transferring to Youngstown State University.

Lucas majored in Criminal Justice and I majored in Dietetics. During our time there, Lucas spent two summers in Maryland as a seasonal Ocean City Police Officer. Once he graduated in 2016, he knew Howard County, Maryland was where he wanted to have a career as a police officer.

Once I graduated in 2017, I followed Lucas to Maryland and we moved into an apartment together. We were blessed to get Brutus, our Boxer, in May of 2020. We can't imagine life without him. We stayed in the apartment until we purchased our first home in Hampstead, MD in September 2022.

I also FINALLY passed my registration exam for dietitians and became a Registered Dietitian in August 2023. I have been working for a Head Start Program for almost 5 years and love what I do and the children and families I serve.
