| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | Every summer, my family would go to the lakes and swim for hours. It was such a special time filled with BBQ, laughter, and adventure. I will always cherish those memories with my mom, dad, and brothers. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify most with my youngest brother. We both have the same temperament and positive attitude. I am the oldest of four siblings and he is the youngest, so we get along since we were quite a bit apart in age and are not competitive with each other. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | Humility, patience, passion, and empathy are the traits I most admire. I feel that our society needs a bit more peace and calm, especially after the pandemic and all the political turmoil that has existed over the last few years. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | One time my car got stuck in a ditch and I had to get it towed out. It was the middle of winter, and I went way too far into the ditch and barely got out! It was a good lesson learned. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would visit Switzerland and Norway. They are both beautiful countries with lots of great hiking and skiing. I would also love to do a multi-ski cross-country trek in Norway. I also love chocolate and Switzerland makes great chocolate! |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would want them to treat others well, to live life with purpose and love, to be empathetic, and always try their best. And they should learn to ride a bike. It's the best way to get around and explore the world! |
