I would most like to live in Morehead City, North Carolina. It is my hometown, and I love visiting the beach all year long.
I grew up traveling with my parents, and we have been able to visit six of the seven Modern Wonders of the World. I was also able to spend a semester abroad in Nairobi, Kenya, where I loved learning about the culture and enjoying the incredible wildlife.
I am an avid runner, and my current (unrealistic) goal is qualifying for the Boston Marathon.
The best part of Ward and Smith is all of the amazing people that I get to work with! Being here truly feels like a family.
