Joined Burns: 2002

What I do at Burns:

Outside of Burns, I can be found:
Spending time with family and friends and being outside as much as possible.

What is it about celebrities, music, and pop culture that fascinates me?
I am a huge fan of live music. I am a terrible singer and played the piano for years as a kid (but if you asked me to play now, I would not even know where to begin) – so I have the upmost respect for anyone who has a talent in this industry.
