1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
I’d be Passport Barbie. For three years my classroom had wheels and my address changed by the week as my family traveled the country in an RV. While most Barbies had a dreamhouse, mine had a GPS and a national park pass. That season of life traveling and being homeschooled taught me how to adapt anywhere, meet anyone, and turn the whole world into home.

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
My emergency snack box. Sweet, salty, and fully stocked at all times — because as a teenager and an athlete I’m hungry all the time.

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
Dora the Explorer — she’s fearless, curious, and always talking to everyone she meets. I love connecting with people, figuring things out as I go, and turning challenges into something fun. She makes leadership look like an adventure, and that’s exactly how I try to live my life.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
Neither — I love living in the present. That’s where the memories are being made, the goals are being chased, and the people I love are right in front of me.

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
As a twin and the only girl with two brothers, my parents would say I’m wise beyond my years, kind, and grounded. I’m athletic and competitive enough to keep up with the boys, but I’m also the steady, compassionate voice in our family.
