what good habit do you wish you'd started earlier?
Courage. Courage encompasses your strength, hope and faith. Having courage to be better and do better relies on your strength, your hope and your faith to endure. As a television journalist, I have witnessed some of the most difficult circumstances and have seen people with the courage to persevere.

what concerns do you have with the future?
I adore “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” The incredibly silly segments are never at the expense of others and she has an incredibly kind heart. “Ellen,” blends uplifting humor with extremely charitable portions. We see plenty of outer beauty on television; it’s important to also see a focus on inner beauty.

what do you most enjoy about traveling?
Anything chocolate! Although I prefer dark chocolate, I won’t turn away any of it. A friend once made the mistake of sending me chocolate covered potato chips. Now she makes regular shipments. Let me know if you want to try them and I’ll have her send you some too!

what do you like most about your age?
“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them” - Walt Disney. Everyone has the right to dream, which is why I became a child advocate through CASA. Perseverance and courage are traits these children use daily; I want to help their dreams come true.
