Screen Shot 2014-09-03 at 11.33.56 AMI thought I would start off my introductory blog post by first introducing my animals. There’s a sign in my house that reads: “We got rid of the kids, the dog was allergic”, so naturally, I know that I’m a little less important! My family is incredibly dog friendly – we currently have 3 Spinoni; Gioia, Piccola, and Trevi. Spinoni (or Spinone Italiano) are Italian bird dogs, similar to a wire haired griffon. Both of my parents professionally handle, breed, and occasionally hunt. The dog-craziness that absorbs my household was even the topic of my college application essay.

I’m from New Hampshire but have primarily lived in upstate New York my whole life. I’ve also moved high schools 3 separate times. I’m an avid Red Sox/Patriots/Bruins fan and have a sushi and seafood obsession that has only skyrocketed out of control since moving to New England.

In my spare time, I photograph and occasionally paint. For the past three summers, I’ve worked as an assistant photographer for Nadra Photography – an established Maine wedding photographer. I also love to cook.
