The Unofficial Bio: I grew up in a military family.  My father is retired from the U.S. Navy and my husband is active duty army.  Given this lifestyle, I move often and I love doing it!  I have always been curious about other people and cultures.  Traveling is my favorite hobby.  To date, I have traveled to 23 countries in Europe, Central and North America, and the Caribbean.  My husband and I lived overseas in Germany for three years.  This allowed me the opportunity to work in Germany and the Czech Republic.  The photos you see in this portfolio are my personal photos taken around the globe.  Additionally, I love cooking, the ocean, snorkeling, swimming, fishing, kayaking, hiking, spending time with my son and husband, studying language (specifically Spanish, Italian, and German), coffee, painting, history, the Alps, Italy, Gator football, and photographing churches.
