Who do you admire? Anyone who has come through adversity and allowed it to change them in a positive way

What would be your last meal? A tuna melt and sweet potato fries

What accomplishment to date are you most proud of? Sobriety

What was your favorite concert? Peaches in Philadelphia

What is your life motto? Esse quam videri: (To be, rather than to seem)

What three things could you not live without? Air, food, sleep

What would your theme song be? “Here Comes The Sun” by the Beatles

What do you do for fun? I play video games, work in my yard, sew, hang out with friends and watch movies.

If money were no object, what would your ideal job be? I would just go around helping others.

If you could give your younger self any advice, what would it be? Don’t allow others to tell you who you are; tell them.”

What is your favorite quote? “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” — Theodore Roosevelt

What is your favorite thing about living in NEPA? The feeling I get when I come home from somewhere else.

Where do you see yourself in ten years? I don’t. I try not to look too far ahead. As with looking back, it distracts from the now.

If you could master one skill you don’t have now, what would it be? I would love to play the violin.

How would your friends best describe you? They would say that I am: funny, sweet, hella good looking and humble.
