1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
My favorite time of the year is the fall. The colors are so pretty, the temperature is perfect, it’s my birthday, and it's girl's soccer season!! On top of that it's Halloween, my favorite holiday, and Thanksgiving, my second favorite; who doesn't love a whole day of eating?

2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
My whole love for adventure and outdoor activities came from a wilderness camp that I went to for a few summers. It was one month in the wilderness with no toilets, showers, electronics, and my cell phone. Being a teenager it was complete torture, but turns out I loved it!

3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I’m from a place called Payson. It's a smaller town right along the mountains. I live about 5 minutes from the mouth of Nebo Canyon which is always a perfect place to go biking, play in the creek, camping, or even just for a Sunday drive up the mountains.

4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
My mom calls me a night owl and always tells me, "Kriegst den hintern abends nicht rein und morgens nicht raus!" In German it means, "At night I can't get my bum into bed, and in the morning I can't get it out.” I love staying up late.

5. How would your parents describe your personality?
I've always dreamed of going to New Zealand and Fiji. I suppose part of that desire comes from my favorite TV show The Biggest Loser, that just went on a ton of adventures there; but also the landscape is breathtaking and it’s a place that looks so inviting and unforgettable.
