| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My favorite park to attend was Disneyland because we went with all our cousins. We watched the Electrical Parade and went on a lot of rides together. We went every summer with my grandparents and all the grandchildren. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify with the youngest of my paternal uncles. We have a lot in common. We share similar tastes in music, and we have similar personality types - we're both extroverts. I have always admired his dedication to following his moral compass. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire tenacity and a strong sense of self in individuals. I think it is admirable to put your best foot forward, no matter the outcome. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | The funniest thing to ever happen to me would have to be the time that I slipped at work and ended up with an entire container of strawberry sauce all over my face. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel back to Japan. There is so much I appreciate about the depth of culture the country has maintained. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | If I have children of my own, I hope they inherit my ability to absorb and retain information, and my ability to learn languages. |
