1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I’ve been told a few, and Kate Middleton is always a huge compliment. Mostly because she’s elegant, genuine, and somehow always looks composed. I appreciate her balance of grace and authenticity… although I’d personally trade the palace schedule for colorful sneakers and a field any day.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I’m breaking the rules, and saying audio notes. They’re the perfect middle ground — efficient like texting, but you can actually hear tone, sarcasm, and personality. Sometimes a “sure” text feels aggressive for absolutely no reason. An audio note clears that up real fast and feels a little more human when life is moving at full speed.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
Honestly, I’m not bored very often. Between work, kids, coaching, non-profit events, and life, there’s usually something happening. But if I get a rare quiet moment, I love getting outside for a walk or jog with a good podcast (favorites are The Confused Breakfast, or True Crime). It’s basically my version of relaxing while still convincing myself I’m being productive.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
I try to wear what I feel classy and myself in. I do really like VICI and Nike. VICI has that polished, slightly 60’s-inspired vibe that somehow makes you feel put together without trying too hard. I’m absolutely a sucker for a good pair of Nike Dunks — the colors, the personality, the little pop they bring to an outfit. Sneakers count as a personality trait at this point, right.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
I think life is built on a lot of small risks that end up shaping you in big ways. Moving across the country for college felt huge at the time, and later my husband and I moved our family to Florida for new opportunities. Risk is uncomfortable, but it’s also where growth, confidence, and the best parts of life usually begin!
