1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
I’d be “Leadership Barbie”—the one who leads with empathy, not ego. She brings people together, listens first, and turns ideas into action. She doesn’t just stand in front of a crowd, she stands with them, making sure people feel seen, valued, and inspired to step into their own potential.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
That would be my collection of sticky notes filled with random thoughts, reminders, and late night ideas. It may look chaotic to everyone else, but for me, it's my way of organizing my mind and ending each day with intention. Sometimes the “weird” things are actually what keep us grounded.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I relate to Rapunzel from Tangled. She’s curious, hopeful, and brave enough to step outside her comfort zone to discover who she really is. I connect with that because I’m always growing, learning, and encouraging others to step into their own light, even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
I’d choose the past. I would give anything for one more conversation with my grandma. I’d want to understand more of what she was carrying, remind her how deeply she was loved, and say the things I never got the chance to say. While I can’t change what happened, I think that conversation would change me forever.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
They’d say I have a really outgoing energy and a laugh that tends to fill a room. I naturally connect with people and make friends everywhere I go. But more importantly, they’d describe me as loyal, driven, and someone who leads with heart. I care deeply about the people in my life, and while I can definitely be a perfectionist at times, it’s also what pushes me to step up, take initiative, and follow through on the things that matter to me.
