1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I’ve always been told I have a classic, old-Hollywood vibe that reminds people of Elizabeth Taylor. It’s in the dark, striking hair, the bold, defined brows, and the dramatic eyes that really stand out. My makeup and style often lean into that glamorous, timeless feel, and there’s something about the confidence and poise I channel that echoes her iconic elegance.

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I prefer texting. It fits better into my busy life and lets me respond thoughtfully when I have a moment. With work, family, and everything in between, it’s easier to keep conversations going without needing to stop everything for a call. I also like having a written record to reference later. That said, I’ll always pick up the phone when it really matters.

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I honestly don’t have much time to be bored, but when I do feel that way, I’m drawn to trying something new—usually something creative. Whether it’s starting a small project or exploring a new idea, I like to use that time to create and express myself rather than just sit still.

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
I’m not overly loyal to any clothing brands—I go with whatever fits my vibe. I love mixing and matching pieces, trying new styles, and wearing whatever feels right in the moment. It’s all about what makes me feel confident and comfortable, not a label.

5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
The biggest risk I’ve taken was becoming a mom. I wasn’t sure I had it in me—or that I could give up that much sleep. It felt like stepping into the unknown in every way. But it’s turned out to be the most important and rewarding thing I’ve ever done, stretching me, shaping me, and showing me a kind of love and strength I never knew I had.
