1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
One in 94 boys has autism. My son is one of them. Due to intensive biomedical intervention, he is recovering. My role as a national spokesperson for autism, and sharing my son’s story, are accomplishments that exemplify the mission of the International system: “to make a difference.”
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
Within the last two years, I co-chaired The First International Conference on Autism Spectrum Disorders, founded the Gannon’s Gate Foundation, and co-wrote and directed a film on my son’s successful journey through the autism spectrum. In addition, I also researched and developed a toxin-free, organic skin care line.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
My days start at 4:20a.m. I hit the gym at 5:15a.m. for an early workout, sauna, and a healthy breakfast. People think I’m nuts, but it’s the only time I can ensure both a physical and mental benefit, because I know that no one needs me…they’re all sleeping!
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
My husband and I believe that faith and family come first, and this is what we teach our children. We also believe in instilling courage, honesty, and integrity in daily lessons, as well as the importance of working together as a family. We always support each other’s passions.
