| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | Every summer throughout elementary school my family would take a trip to the beach. I would spend countless hours on the boardwalk and in all the shops. One of my fondest memories is just sitting on a bench on the boardwalk, eating ice cream, and people watching. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I closely identify with my mother because we are very similar. We're both introverted and reserved. We're also very hard-working individuals. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | The character traits I admire the most are being self-aware and open-minded. Self-aware people are more compassionate and able to deal with change. Open-minded people are great conversationists and more accepting of differences among others. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | My dad had to come sit in on one of my classes in middle school. I had been disruptive because I would always finish my work fast and distract my friends. That was the quietest that I've ever been in that class. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would like to travel throughout the continent of Africa. I would love to document all the holistic remedies that are used throughout the continent. Then using what I documented, I would love to investigate these ingredients and substances and deduce why they're effective. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | Emotional intelligence, open mindedness, and the ability to critically think about things. There's so much misinformation out there and the ability to filter through that would set them up to be successful individuals. Having emotional intelligence as an adult would make them more equipped to deal with all that life throws at them. Being open-minded would open their world up to so much and make them great assets to any community. |
