The best advice I’ve received is: don’t follow the masses because sometimes the ‘m’ is silent. I strive to do things differently, not for the sake of being different, but to be innovative.
If I could master one skill, it would be flair bartending. Imagine me slinging mixed drinks like a female version of Tom Cruise in the 1988 movie Cocktail.
If I had a warning label, it would definitely say: Warning! Personality May Be Larger Than It Appears
If I had a superpower, it would be to give our staff the tricks, tools and knowledge to make them in to designer superheroes!
If I could watch a movie for the first time again, it would be the Princess Bride. It’s the world’s greatest story of true wuv and medieval adwwenture.
I once zip-lined in the Dry Forest in Costa Rica. I was scared to death until I realized that the only other way down was walking past a coral snake!
If I were reincarnated as a famous landmark, I’d be Walt Disney World. It’s the happiest place on earth!
If I could live anywhere in the world, I’d choose a little house along the river in Avignon in the South of France. I’d spend my days riding my bike and enjoying the scenery.
My favorite thing is my “Edgar Allan Poe goes to Woodstock” halloween tree. It’s a mixture of lace, ravens, hippies, witches, and goblins.
Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday. There’s nothing cozier than relaxing by the Christmas tree under a pile of blankets watching Home Alone.
If I had a time machine, I would travel back to the Enlightenment period. The development of neoclassicism and the use of color has always been interesting to me!
My perfect Sunday morning is enjoying a cup of coffee with a perfectly toasted everything bagel sandwich, yoga, and planning my next vacation.
A random fact about me is that I spontaneously adopted a donkey during my last trip to Greece!
My favorite tv show is New Girl! If you ask my family or friends, they think I am most like the character Winston!
If I could have an endless supply of anything, it would undoubtedly be crab rangoons!
If I could win an Olympic medal it would be for folding a fitted sheet insanely fast.
If I could live in any movie, I would live in Star Wars and have a quiet life on Naboo.
