Occupation
Substitute teacher and property manager.

Interests and hobbies
Painting, scrapbooking, decorating—basically, I love creating.

What inspires me
Taking the ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary.

Idea of perfect happiness
I have the life that I’ve always dreamed of… filled with fun, adventure, excitement and lots of love. I also feel blessed to be able to share my life with my husband, James, who is an incredibly supportive partner.

Talent I would most like to have
I enjoy watching Dancing with the Stars, and I would love to learn to tango or salsa. Unfortunately, it’s just not going to happen. I have two left feet!

Favorite four-legged friends
I am a caregiver to three adorable fur-babies: Bugsy, Ginger and Yogi (two Shih Tzus and a Lhasa Apso).

Favorite place in the world
Palm Springs, California. It allows me to escape the hectic pace of Orange County. The natural beauty of the desert and the San Jacinto Mountains is hard to beat, and when you couple that with the amazing mid-century architecture, it’s my idea of perfection.

My role model
My mother. She’s absolutely gorgeous—both inside and out. I am so impressed with how she has been able to roll with the punches throughout the years.

Something you’d never guess about me
I am a game show fanatic. I started watching them with my grandma when I was just a kid. I have actually been a contestant on two shows—The Price is Right and 1 vs. 100.
