| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | I traveled to Africa with my father when I was just in high school. Tanzania and Kenya are some of the most magical places, untouched, raw, and realistic on true land. I saw richness and poverty at the same time, eye opening for someone so young and full of hope. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I have a very close relationship with the younger of my two sisters, we have always been very similar, caring , loving and share anything with each other. She's been a pillar in my life, a friend and the most important person in my family. Her support has no limits and also her kindness, most would work a lifetime to be as kind and remarkable as she is. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire dedication and hard work. I've experienced a lot of talent in my lifetime, in different countries, large metropolitan cities, but the trait that has always caught my eye, because it beats everyone that is incredibly talented every single time, is dedication. Not allowing yourself to give up and continue to be dedicated is something remarkable. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I used to go horseback riding when I was younger with most of my friends. We all had an amazing time. One time, at the rodeo where we used to do it, the opportunity presented itself to ride a very young bull, which is still very large and in charge. I did it without hesitating. He threw me up a couple feet in the air, full 360 and managed to not get hit by the bull and still walked out of there with mostly no scratches. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | There is something so majestic about Japan, it's hip, but yet traditional at its core and with such great values. I love their food and their culture is something that has always mesmerized me and caught my eye. I would love to learn their language and spend some time there, get to know their customs more, and understand their magical way of life. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | Nothing is free in life, it all takes time and you have to sacrifice who you are for who you will become. Don't get disappointed when you fail, it will happen, the trick is to never give up. Learn to love the little things in life, it goes by real fast. Trust yourself, people will try to make you unsure or doubt. |
