Samantha - Congeniality Award
1. Are you more afraid of the doctor or dentist?
I think I look like a cross between Fran Drescher and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I admire both women’s authenticity! Fran’s big personality, expressive face, and iconic laugh definitely make an impression, while Julia’s timeless elegance and sharp wit are qualities I admire. I respect both women for the unique places they’ve carved out in the entertainment industry, each bringing their own brand of talent and humor.
2. If you could have a lifetime supply of anything what would it be?
The strangest thing in my fridge? Nori sheets—yes, the seaweed kind. I swear they were meant for a glamorous homemade sushi night, but they’ve since taken on a new role as my go-to snack. Let’s just say, sushi night hasn’t happened—but snack time always does!
3. What’s the worst date you’ve been on?
When I’m bored, I turn into a container-loving, label-making whirlwind. Makeup, kitchen tools, spices—you name it, I’ve probably alphabetized it. It’s not that I’m super organized all the time, but boredom turns me into a labeling, stacking, color-coding machine. It’s weirdly calming... and mildly addictive.
4. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
I bought an at-home ice cream maker, thinking I’d be making creamy, gourmet flavors all summer. But after all the freezing, churning, and effort, I realized... it’s just not the same as the stuff from the shop. Now, I happily leave the hard work to the professionals!
5. Is there anything about you that people are surprised to learn?
I’d be Judge Barbie—because there isn’t an Attorney Barbie yet (maybe that’s an idea I could pitch to Mattel)! As a lawyer, I’m all about bringing justice and fairness to the table. I’d use Judge Barbie’s gavel to make thoughtful decisions and stand as a reminder that women in law have a powerful voice that deserves to be heard.
