Fun Facts:

  1. If I could rid the world of one thing, what would it be?
    Several things make this list, including mosquitos and homelessness, but if I had to pick one, it would be bullying. Today, too many children are made to feel bad for who they are and what they enjoy. Every child should be able to be whoever they wish to be, without judgement.
  2. What is the funniest thing I did as a kid?
    Like most typical kids, I loved to pull pranks on my family members but the thing we laugh most about now is my one and only attempt at making Chicken & Dumplings for a family meal. I was 14, and the dumplings were so horrible, my brother attempted to use it as a baseball. They had the same texture and consistency!
  3. What is one thing very few people know about you?
    One thing very few people know about me would be that as young kid, I was obsessed with the World Wrestling Federation. My brothers and I huddled around the TV every Saturday morning to watch Hulk Hogan, Macho Man and the Ultimate Warrior. In junior high when I was named the National Junior Honor Society Freshman President, my mother bought me tickets to a live WWF event here in Phoenix!
  4. If you could instantly become an expert in something, what would it be?
    This is so hard to pick just one! I could list a lot of things I would love to be an expert at but my current obsession learning to make my own cold brew coffee. For months I have been experimenting with the perfect bean, grind, and brewing time. One day, I hope to master this. It would save me a lot of time and money!
