Who is the most inspirational person to you?

I do not have one person that is the most inspirational to me… I find inspiration in most people I meet, from the single mother who works full time and goes to school full time, to child who is so proud of doing something by themselves for the first time, to my friends who overcome a challenge, there is so much inspiration in all that goes on around you each day.

What are you doing now?

I graduated from Cornell University last May (2008). In the time since then I have been very busy.

My husband and I both started our careers, his as a police officer, mine as an Internship Coordiantor. We purchased our first home in July of 2008 and were married in October of 2008.

My position as an Internship Coordinator with the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce was funded by a grant which runs out in August this year. Currently I am in the process of buying a local Curves for Women fitness center. I am really looking forward to the challenges of running my own business.

Other that that I am enjoying married life. I have had time to slow down wince I am no longer juggling a full time job and being a full time student. I have taken up reading and quilting, and occasionally I make it out to the range with Blair to practice my shooting skills.
