What is one thing you cannot resist? 

The one thing I can't resist is spontaneity! I believe in living in the moment and seizing every opportunity that comes my way. LIVE!

What is your personal motto or mantra? 

I deserve all that is good. I accept who I am in my entirety. I am worthy of the respect and kindness of others. My body and my mind are uniquely beautiful.

What would you most like to tell yourself at age 13? 

Be yourself and follow your passions.

What would people be surprised to know about you? 

The fact that I am smart surprises people more than it should and I never say no to any task that is asked of me. I critique myself strictly and others’ perception of me is important. I always strive for professionalism.

What is your favorite show to binge?

I like NCIS New Orleans, but my true favorite is Naked & Afraid.

How did you pass time during the stay-at-home mandate?

I passed the time watching Red Box movie rentals and perfecting my cooking skills to become a chef.

A chef? Tell us more!

Cooking is my passion and one day I plan to have a gourmet soup bistro.

I show off my culinary talents occasionally at neighborhood markets and local events. To be honest, I am a pretty darn good cook. I would definitely win the trophy on
Guy’s Grocery Games or Chopped Kitchen!

Do you have a pet? 

Yes, I have a Betta Fish named Bubbles. I named him this because every day all he does is blow bubbles. He will come to the office with me when Roy says we can bring our pets to work. Bubbles needs to see what work is like instead of laying around all day blowing bubbles.
