Sheila Alers

People's Choice Award

1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
With a little prayer that goes like this: Dear Lord, You know how busy I am going to be today – if I forget about you (unintentionally), please don’t forget about me. This is followed by a quick change, a round of kisses and a sprint to work.

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
Exhausted!!!! One of the things I love about my husband is that he a serious go-getter. Whether he is preparing for an Ironman competition, a sales meeting, entertaining clients or fund raising for Team Runner’s Edge, he is always all in – 100%. This requires me to be all in too!!!

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
From NYC to the other bucolic regions – Long Island, Hudson Valley, Thousand Islands, Finger Lakes, Niagara, Catskills, Adirondacks, Central, Saratoga to Chautauqua - majestic mountains, magnificent waterfalls, luscious parks, culture, entertainment, fantastic people - New York has it all. Visit us and you’ll be saying “I love New York” too.

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Make friends with everyone and be happy for whoever wins. Life is too short to be upset about things that you can’t control and there is so much to be gained by letting yourself just have fun and enjoy the experience.

5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
I hope to be graduated from Law School and be successfully employing my skills in changing public legislation. Financial Literacy Education and Reform are sorely needed at all levels of government as well as in the classroom. This extends to government spending, balancing budgets and public education.
