| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | One of my most memorable childhood experiences was getting together with my friends to play a giant game of hide-and-seek that lasted for hours. We were allowed to use the entirety of a school’s back campus, which made it feel like our own adventure zone. I still remember the excitement of running around, finding new hiding spots, and laughing nonstop. It’s a memory that always brings me back to how simple and fun childhood could be. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I’d say I identify most closely with my sister. Over the years, we’ve developed similar interests, and she often tries out the same things I enjoyed when I was her age. It’s rewarding to see her following her own path while still connecting through shared hobbies and experiences. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I really admire honesty and courage in a person, as well as their ability to stay kind and humble no matter what life throws at them. I think genuine people who treat others with respect and empathy stand out the most. It shows strength of character when someone can be both confident and compassionate. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | One of the funniest things that ever happened to me was on Halloween when my friends and I decided to paint ourselves for our costumes. I didn’t realize I had used the wrong type of body paint, and it ended up staining my skin completely. I was purple for days afterward, which everyone found hilarious, even though I had to scrub nonstop to get it off. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would love to travel to France. There’s so much rich history, incredible architecture, and beautiful scenery that I’ve always wanted to experience firsthand. From the Eiffel Tower to the countryside and local cafés, I’d want to take my time and enjoy the culture, food, and art that make France so iconic. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | If I ever have children, I’d want to pass on my ambition to try new things and the drive to find what truly makes them happy. I’d hope they grow up curious, open-minded, and unafraid to fail. Most of all, I’d want them to feel supported in pursuing whatever path feels right to them. |
