My oldest sister/my "twin" (even though we are 7 years apart). She is someone who I share close passions with and is always down to bust out into a Broadway duet. She is an incredible educator and has guided me through my teaching career. She also has given me the greatest joy of being an aunt to her three beautiful children.

Chad AKA my brother from my mother, has always looked out after my younger sister and I. You can find him at WolfGang Puck's restaurants serving up the best drinks! Chad is a fellow "Lax Bro."

Chad AKA "My Brother From Another Mother," "Best Friend," "Randy" has been my best friend since we had met in Kindergarten. Chad and I are inseparable, we have played in sand boxes as kids all the way up to being best men in each others weddings. Also a "Lax Bro."

My older sister, who I look up to for being the hardest worker, my confidant, fashion advice giver, Friends quoter, and "GIF Queen." Growing up, I always wanted to be just like her and would copy everything she did. I can count on her to share my exact same thoughts at all times and be 100% real with me.

Dylan, AKA "Bear Grylls" is a great friend who I've known for over 20 years! Unless you want to go on some pretty gnarly hikes, say no if Dylan ever asks you "Do you want to go on a hike?" You can find Dylan traveling the world... which may make it hard to find him. Also a "Lax Bro."

My cousin who also serves as my real life personal diary. We have gone through everything in life together from being in diapers to flourishing in our careers. We are so alike and so different at the same time, yet we are completely inseparable.

Ryan is another great friend who I have known for over 20 years! We tore it up on the soccer fields growing up. As kids you could find us in his parents backyard playing some type of sport. Also a "Lax Bro."

Jake's sister, and now my amazing bonus sister! Niki has the kindest heart, is the most creative person, and cooks literally the most delicious food you'll ever eat.

Jordan AKA "JG40" has been a great friend of mine since we met in middle school. We actually met playing lacrosse and continued "Laxing" together all the way through college. If you haven't guessed it, also a "Lax Bro."

Morgan was the very first friend I met when we moved to Las Vegas 18 years ago. She is always up for a good time, and we share a deep love for brunch and bottomless mimosas.

Caitlyn is my science nerd friend since early high school. She is so smart that I never understand anything she is saying. She and I have some of the absolute craziest and also most special memories together, including getting my dog, Phoebe!

Nick Foggia AKA "My Buddy Foggia," is My Buddy Foggia. He is proof that I don't only hang out with "Lax Bros." He is a great friend and will have you laughing for hours. Not a "Lax Bro."

Karissa is my music buddy from college. She is one of the most talented, adventurous, and caring girls I know. One of my favorite more recent memories together was driving from Texas to Indiana with her and two big dogs in a little car.

Mike AKA "Deluche" pronounced Duh-looch-ay, is a great friend that I met playing lacrosse in college. Mike is an awesome guy. The only downside about Mike is that he is a Yankees fan. Also a "Lax Bro."

Katrina and I met in college through leadership opportunities. We would eat dinner together every week and called it “Meal Monday’s.” (Most of those consisted of Red Robin bottomless fries). Though we live on opposite coasts now, we have the type of friendship where we talk about anything and everything.

Riley and I were in high school choir together and became so much closer after college when we became roommates for two years. We share strong bonds including line dancing, online shopping, going to Target, occasionally doing yoga, and anything Disney.

Landon AKA "Shelly" is another great friend of mine that I met while playing lacrosse in college. I took Landon under my wing when I was an upperclassmen and he was a freshmen. He is a sincere friend that I can always count on. Also a "Lax Bro."
