My name is Karlee and I am 19 years old. I am from Red Bank, New Jersey, as well as Highlands, New Jersey since my parents are divorced. I am majoring in TMD with a minor in HDF here at URI. I hope to someday design a clothing line or manage a store that makes affordable clothing for families in poverty. As much as I love the jersey shore (yes the tv show too) and boardwalk fries, I aspire to travel the world and participate in a service trip or study abroad. In the summer I work at a restaurant as an expeditor where I spend a majority of my paycheck on clothes and shoes as if it were my second job. I like to think my father is where these shopaholic tendencies originate from, considering his tie collection is close to a count of 400. I have one sister, Amanda who is 30 years old, and a small dog named Jeremiah (otherwise known as Jeremy, Jermy, Jerome, or Jer). I love to spend my free time with my family and friends listening to music, the one thing that gets me through the day!
