What are you passionate about? I’m very passionate about helping others with their problems or anything that they need. I am also very passionate about nutrition, which is what I am studying in school.

Who do you admire? Stevie Nicks. She has worked so hard to be as successful as she is today. She has gone through so many interesting and crazy things in her life and has learned from it and used her knowledge to inspire others to follow their dreams and do something amazing with themselves.

What’s something most people don’t know about you? I can finish a whole Panchero’s burrito in about 10 minutes.

Are you a dog person or a cat person? To be honest, I’m an animal person so I love them both, but cats are my favorite.

If you had to pick, would you want someone with beauty or brains? Brains. I love having crazy conversations with someone who is interesting and has a lot of knowledge about something I may not know a lot about.

My last meal would be … a burrito from Panchero’s and an ice cold Blue Moon or Landshark.

My theme song would be … ‘Little Wing’ by Jimi Hendrix.

My best concert was … three years ago when I saw Dave Matthews at a three-day festival in Atlantic City

For a good time I … like to run Lake Scranton, meet new people, hang out with my crazy family, go out on the town with my friends and just about anything you can do outdoors.
