1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I’m often told I resemble Leah Remini. I think the comparison comes from more than just physical features. Her confidence, strength and bold personality mirrors qualities people see in me. I consider it a huge compliment anytime someone makes the connection. It reminds me that how we carry ourselves can be just as recognizable as our appearance. I’m grateful for the likeness in both style and spirit.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
Nothing compares to a long, meaningful phone call with the people I love. Those connections allow me to slow down, reconnect and strengthen my relationships. When I call my mom, brother or best friend, I intentionally set aside extra time because I know we’ll end up talking deeply about life, faith, family and a few funny stories will be swapped. Those conversations fill my heart in a way that texting never could.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
In a world filled with endless opportunities to learn, grow and experience new things, I very rarely feel bored. My life, work, and passions keep me constantly engaged. If I ever find myself with absolutely nothing to do, I consider it a blessing; a welcomed rest that I don’t often get. In those rare moments, I simply slow down, breathe and allow myself to enjoy the stillness.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
I love mixing pieces from classic to bold styles without limiting myself to specific labels. Fashion should be fun and expressive. That said, almost every pair of jeans I own happens to be Joe’s. Their denim fit perfectly, striking the ideal balance between structure and stretch. They’re reliable, flattering and comfortable enough for busy weekends making them the brand I return to.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
Stepping into leadership roles, both through S.E.E.C. and in my career, without a traditional path behind me. I put my trust in God, my instincts, my work ethic, experience and heart instead of relying on a checklist of qualifications. It has pushed me outside my comfort zone but ultimately changed my life. It taught me that curiosity, courage and purpose can open the doors that credentials alone never will.
