| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience is my mom visiting me during preschool and kindergarten recesses. We would always work on puzzles together, play with the other kids and go on walks around the field. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify myself closest with my father. He is a man that I strive to be like. He is the hardest working, kindest, most generous, thoughtful, patient and intelligent person I know. He is so versatile and knows how to do everything. He has always pushed me to do everything I’ve ever wanted to and told me to believe in myself. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire people who are hardworking, kind, patient, thoughtful, generous, and confident. People who are willing to try new things and give it their all. People who are willing put others before themselves. Those who have big dreams and aren’t afraid to strive and accomplish them. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | The funniest thing to ever happen to me was the one year I was assigned to be the “tech ninja” at our family Thanksgiving gathering. Every year all my uncles, aunts and cousins rent a log cabin in the mountains to stay in. We all spend that time together, but we always have one tradition. One person is assigned to be the “tech ninja,” someone who finds and hides everyone else’s phones, computers and tablets. The best part is that only the previous year's tech ninja knows who the present year's tech ninja is - so everyone else in the family is freaking out and trying to figure out who is taking all their items. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If time and money were not an issue I would travel everywhere! The world is full of such beautiful, diverse and rich cultures that I would love to see and view. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | When I have children, I would like to pass on to them the importance of being kind, thoughtful, patient, generous, giving back to others, hard work, education and the idea that anything is possible if they put in the time and effort. I want to show them how beautiful the world is, the amazing people in it and all the opportunities available. |
