What is your most memorable childhood experience?Growing up, my father's job moved us around the country quite a bit.

We made the most of all our moves as a family, and always had a positive outlook on change.
What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?I am a perfect balance between my mother and my father.

My father is extremely smart, hardworking and loyal, which are qualities I admire and embrace in my own life.
What character traits do you admire in an individual?I think respect and humility are the most admirable traits somebody could have. No matter where life has taken you, and where it has taken others, I firmly believe that everybody needs to be kind to one another.
What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?It is very hard to pinpoint a single "funniest thing" in my life. I often find myself in many interesting situations, as I am rarely one to say no to any invitation. Somebody once told me “You will never remember the nights you went to bed early" and I truly took that to heart, with a desire to create as many memorable experiences as possible.
If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?My main goal in life is to visit every continent on Earth and stay in as many countries as I am able. The world is full of beautiful scenery and unique cultures, and I want to experience as much of it as possible.
When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?I would like them to be kind to all who they come across, even if you feel it is not reciprocated back. You will never know what somebody else may be going through, that causes them to act that way, but you can always control your own actions. Additionally, family is the most important thing in life, never losing sight of that.
