About yourself: I grew up going back and forth between Oklahoma and Kansas, so much so it is hard to determine which is truly home so I consider both to be home! I know most of Kansas, NEO, and western MO like the back of my hand, I'm really good at trivia, and I have two cats.

Heads up, I will use memes in my emails to make sure you read them!
