A typical day in my life includes…
going to work, attending classes at ASU, and then heading to the library or hanging out with my best friends Jessica and Andrea.
I was born…
in New York, but raised in Arizona.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the sunsets and constant sunshine.
I’m listening to…
mostly country music.
My family…
is my rock. I truly don’t know where I’d be without them.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Ellen DeGeneres. I love her personality and her desire to spread kindness in the world, plus she’s hilarious.
One thing I cannot live without…
sushi! I would eat it every day if it could.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
an Olympic swimmer or a mermaid.
I’m inspired by…
my mom. She’s overcome so many challenges in life and worked so hard in order to get where she is today.
The one person who motivates me is…
my boss at the law firm I work at. He is a great example of someone who can do it all both at work and at home. He’s always had my best interests in mind and pushes me to learn and experience new things.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
to make people more compassionate towards each other. I think we could get so much more accomplished as a society if we respected and understood each other a little more.
The perfect day would be…
listening to music with the windows down heading to the beach and maybe doing a little shopping and eating some sushi.
My first job was…
at a day care.
My favorite escape…
is swimming. I used be a competitive swimmer for 10 years and this was the place where I would be able to forget about all my problems.
My life…
is amazing. Although it hasn’t been easy, I have been blessed to have so many people that love and support me.
I’m currently working on…
receiving my Bachelors Degree in Business Law and getting into Law School in the future.
Always…
dream big.
Never…
say no to new experiences.
Favorite Quote…
“Forever is composed of now” – Emily Dickinson.
Biggest Dream…
traveling the world.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
messy rooms.
