1. Are you more afraid of the doctor or dentist?
Honestly, neither scares me—but I respect the doctor a little more. Losing my dad to heart disease at a young age taught me that doctors save lives, even when the conversations are hard. As someone with asthma and a heart-health advocate, I’ve learned that showing up, asking questions, and taking care of yourself is far more powerful than fear.
2. If you could have a lifetime supply of anything what would it be?
A lifetime supply of curiosity and adventure. It’s taken me from a small town to dance competitions, cosmetology school, Iceland with my mom, and into heart-health advocacy. Curiosity keeps me learning—whether it’s skincare science, new cultures, or how to better serve others. When you stay curious, life never feels limited.
3. What’s the worst date you’ve been on?
A date where I did all the talking—while he spent the entire time scrolling on his phone. I value presence. That experience reminded me that connection isn’t about impressing someone; it’s about showing up, listening, and being genuinely engaged.
4. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
If I could have one superpower, it would be a photographic memory. I love learning and growing, and being able to remember it all would make curiosity even more fun—y’all might say it’s a practical kind of magic.
5. Is there anything about you that people are surprised to learn?
Many people don’t expect that I grew up racing pit bikes. It taught me confidence, focus, and a little fearlessness. At the same time, I still have a completely irrational fear of snakes—which keeps me humble.
