City you live in: Scottsdale, Arizona
A typical day in my life includes…
my life revolves around clothes, shoes, and accessories – not my own though! I live to make other people look and feel their best.
I was born…
in Kansas.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the weather, you never have to wear bulky layers (which I despise).
I’m listening to…
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s duo, “Shallow.” Is anyone not?
My family…
comes first and there is no shortage of laughs, we live to have fun.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Goldie Hawn, she is my spirit animal. I love that woman, her vibe, her tribe, and her attitude toward life.
One thing I cannot live without…
chocolate – seriously addicted.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a tennis superstar.
I’m inspired by…
The Pretty Mess, she is unapologetically living her dream life.
The one person who motivates me is…
my mom, she pushes me to be better and do better every day.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
the naysayers and bullies…stay in your lane and keep your mouth shut. Mom’s teach your kids, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
The perfect day would be…
a spa day wouldn’t suck, especially in the south of France. Hotel du Cap Eden Rock, perhaps?
My first job was…
a lifeguard.
My favorite escape…
I’m a sucker for any ocean getaway, especially the Caribbean.
My life…
is the happy kind of crazy, chock full of hard work and tons of laughs…not little ones either, LOL’s!
I’m currently working on…
my jewelry line called Dream Wild and Free.
Always…
say thank you and pray!
Never…
be rude or disrespectful, especially to waiters – it is a thankless job.
Favorite Quote…
from the Queen, Oprah: “I believe luck is preparation meeting opportunity.”
Biggest Dream…
for my jewelry line to be a success. When they sell it at Nordstrom I’ve made it.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
clothes that don’t fit. Too big or too small, it drives me wild. Don’t be afraid of alterations!
