A mom to Gabe (3) and Elaina (6 months) A wife to Mike, who I married about a year after meeting (online) – when you know, you know! An avid Notre Dame fan A Barnes & Thornburg lifer. I started as a summer associate and have worked in three offices, and truly love them all. A horseback rider and competitor A firm believer that “love is love” Extremely close to my (large and loud) family Excited to attend any sporting event A devoted friend. I had 12 bridesmaids who are all still my best friends, and I would have a few more to add if I were getting married today! Happiest when I am with my kids (and on a beach, if we are getting specific)

Half Dutch and half Mexican, and I always thought that was a unique combo Named after my Dutch great-great-aunt; nobody pronounces my name correctly, but I’m never offended by it Occasionally a stand-in for my husband’s social media projects at work and was on a billboard once An animal lover and self-proclaimed “cat lady”. I also have the sweetest pit bull ever. A major control freak and have to remind myself to “let it go” frequently All about camping, fishing and hiking and I go on annual kayak trips at Turkey Run Married to someone four inches shorter than me – without heels on A band geek at heart; I played clarinet for seven years, piano for a couple and now handbells in my church choir An avid concert-goer – I go to about 20 concerts a year A person with MAJOR anxiety. Agreeing to be featured here made me dizzy and my throat close up.
