1.What is the funniest thing you believed as a child?
Laughter is definitely the best medicine and I can count on my 3 older brothers to give me a huge dose! We are so close and it’s laughter that has built that bond. My parents claim that we can read each other's minds because we will break out in laughter without even saying a word but we totally understand why we are laughing, we just get each other, it’s always random, and I love it!

2.What is the one talent you wish you had?
I'd say I'm an organized, messy kind of person. I like to save sentimental "treasures" but my dad thinks I have a few too many. He always says, "A place for everything, and everything in its place." That place just might be on my nightstand or vanity instead of in a drawer, because seeing them sparks memories, and memories bring joy. Each item in my happy mess has an organized, intentional spot!

3.Other than your family, who is your biggest supporter?
My favorite vacation spots are at the beach or lake and I absolutely love being in the water... as long as I can't see the bottom! For some reason, I am scared to death if I can see the bottom. It doesn't make sense, I know... especially because ever since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of being a mermaid, go figure?!

4.What is the best costume you’ve ever worn for Halloween?
My absolute favorite ice cream is Moose Tracks! It is a combination of vanilla ice cream with stripes of fudge chocolate running through it, and the yummiest mini reeses peanut butter cups (which is my favorite candy)! I'm definitely a girl who loves a mixture of ice cream, chocolate, & peanut butter!

5.What song makes you 100% of the time want to dance?
I am the most myself when I am dancing! When I dance my heart out and let go of all the stress life brings, I feel pure joy. It is said that dance has the curative power to heal our mind, heart, and soul. I love sharing through movement and when I perform for a captivated audience, I think we both experience that power.
