I graduated from Purdue in 2018 and completed law school at UD Mercy while being a judicial clerk for Judge Nicholson (Ret.) in the 52-3 District Court. When I had my daughter in 2024, everything changed — for the better — and I am elated to be called and to hold the elite title of Mom every day. I may return to the legal profession one day, but my heart is in raising my children and I couldn’t be more grateful to my husband for making that happen!

Name of spouse, children's names/ages if applicable: Zach Cherocci is my other half, our little girl Vivienne Christiana is 1, and we are expecting Baby #2 in September! 

What's on your music playlist these days? Everything from Chris Stapleton to Blink 182, ASAP Rocky to Lady Gaga, it really depends on the day. 

What's the latest book you've read? Freida McFadden’s “The Locked Door”

Favorite time of year? Spring. I love seeing the world come back to life! 

Your greatest adventure to date? Is “becoming a mom” too cliche? If so, I studied abroad in Central Europe and our trip was focused on human rights, both past and present. That was life changing!

Favorite lunch at ULS? Chicken patty day, of course. Or senior lunch at Blue Fin Sushi 

Advice would you give your former self? It’s all going to work out, kid

Best decision you've ever made? Marrying the love of my life as soon as he popped the question 

Favorite memory of Cook Road? Too many to count 

Favorite Treat: Salty or Sweet?This question isn’t fair when you’re pregnant! The answer is both. Doritos will always have a place in my heart, and any good quality coffee/chocolate ice cream is my go-to sweet treat. 

If you had a theme song, what would it be? Vienna by Billy Joel

Your favorite teacher at ULS? And why? Dr. Jane Healey changed my life. As did Mr. Thompson (and helped me learn my love of English). Señora Milenius will always have a special place in my heart as she always saw me for me. Ms. Jamett believed in me when no one else did. I will thank her forever!  

Cats, dogs or no pets? Names of pets, if applicable! Odin, our German Shepherd, is simply the best boy. 

What's your favorite movie? Goodfellas or Beauty and the Beast 

Aside from necessities, what is one thing could you not go a day without? Chapstick. Specifically Aquaphor. 

If you could live in a different country for a year, which country would you choose? Croatia, no question. 

What's on your bucket list? A true Safari/exploring Africa. Bonus points for a sunrise hot air balloon over a flourishing African national park.

Name five things that make you happy: (1) My daughter’s laughter, (2) trail walks with Odin, (3) a flawless baked ziti (probably my own), (4) my husband’s humor, (5) takeoff in an airplane off to anywhere with the perfectly curated playlist.
