INTERVIEW
WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
I was born and raised in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
IF YOU WERE AN ANIMAL, WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?
If I were an animal, I would want to be a monkey, because they are quick learners, witty, and clever.
WHAT SUPERPOWER WOULD YOU HAVE?
I would like to have the ability to read people's minds when I chose too.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS? IF SO, TELL US ABOUT THEM.
I have a cat named Ritz! When I moved out of my parent’s, Ritz decided he wanted to stay and made my bedroom his kingdom! He has the entire room just for himself!
WHAT’S THE BEST HALLOWEEN COSTUME YOU’VE EVER HAD?
I’ve had a lot of great Halloween costumes! My mother and I love making homemade costumes almost every year. I think my favorite would have to be my Poison Ivy costume.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE 90S SHOW?
How could I even pick just one! I loved my 90s tv shows growing up. Rugrats, Full House, Saved by the Bell, Boy Meets World, Hey Arnold, Arthur, All That... I could go on and on!
WHERE DO YOU MOST HOPE TO VISIT?
I cannot wait until I get to travel the streets of Ireland!
WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING, HOW DO YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR TIME?
When I am not at work, you can find me indulging in a wide variety of actives, from catching up on some sleep to playing soccer, running marathons, or just hanging out with some good friends and family!
IT’S 2:00AM, AND YOU ARE STILL WORKING TOWARDS A DEADLINE. WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO PUMP UP JAM/MUSIC?
I have a wide range of music interests; I could be listening to anything from Toby Keith, Steve Aoki, Imagine Dragons, or some good 90s throwbacks.
