Questions

Favorite High School Memory There are so many to choose from but since I have to pick one I would have to say my senior powderpuff football game. The rain and mud just made it that much better!

Favorite High School Class This is such a tough one but I would have to say both Ms. Glenn's AP Pysch class senior year and Mr. Willard's Honors Language Arts class sophomore year. They were both such great teachers and their classes were always so much fun.

Favorite High School Activity: Being on the tennis team and choir. I made so many great friends.

In 2002, I spent my weekends: Hanging out at friends houses (depending on whose parents were out of town), going to football games, movies, playing tennis, working at Walgreens.

In 2011, I spend my weekends: Spending time with friends and family and my husband. We are both huge Cardinals fans and Mizzou Tiger fans and love to go to games whenever we can. I also love baking and have been trying to improve my cooking skills. My husband and I recently bought a house so we have been doing lots of little home improvement projects!

Any other thoughts about LHS or the class of 2002?

I had such a great high school experience. I made so many great friends at Lafayette that I am still friends with today. I feel very lucky to have attended such an excellent high school.

What I'm up to now

I graduated from the University of Missouri with a Journalism degree and started working at advertising agency in downtown St. Louis and have been working there as Account Executive since graduating. I currently work on the AB-InBev account, which is always a lot of fun. I met my husband, Evan, in Columbia, MO through mutual friends while I was down there visiting. We have been together ever since and were recently married on September 24, 2011. We currently reside in Rock Hill, MO with our dog Daisy.
