After graduating college in 2018, she moved into her first apartment in 2019 with her two loving, elderly chihuahuas: Tink and Pixie. Three months later, she bought the youngest of the bunch, which would be her Australian Shepherd Bailey Blue. After six months, she bought her first home in April of 2020. In the last couple of years, she decided to start traveling to popular roller skating events to meet other people who love the sport as much as she does. Once Rizzo became familiar with roller skating events, she began to start her own traditional roller skating event for Halloween in 2021 in Las Vegas. Fast forward to 2022, she met her boyfriend who she now enjoys spending time with along with family. The two of them both enjoy spending time at the gym, cooking, shoe shopping, or just being in each others' presence. After all of the life-work balance, she is able to make time to roller skate and bowl in her spare time. She's been a transportation manager for a year and couldn’t be happier. She became a roller skate instructor two years ago and teaches others. Also, she became a travel skater and has skated in 15 states. Where should I go next?
