People's Choice Award

1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
Others have told me I resemble actresses Gal Gadot or Olivia Munn, which I take as a huge compliment! They are striking. I can see a blend of them both—Gal Gadot’s strong, timeless features paired with Olivia Munn’s lighter eyes and high cheekbones.

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
Texting is my preferred way to communicate based on necessity, especially if I’m on Mom Duty. It’s efficient and flexible, and fits into a busy, on-the-go life when in-person communication is not available—or when my preschooler wants all of my attention.

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I thrive on staying active and learning, so boredom sends me into ultra-productivity mode—often straight to tackling all the laundry in the house at once or reorganizing a room. As a mom, wife, legal professional, fitness coach, volunteer, and more, I wear many hats. Sitting still isn’t easy for me because I know so many people depend on me and time is precious.

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
I definitely have a soft spot for Adidas and White House Black Market—they speak my language and my closet reflects it!

5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
My husband says it was to marry him. He’s probably right. (Love you, Shane!)
