Here, her answers to our version of a Proust questionnaire.

When you were five years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?

What was your first job?

Working for a retail store called DJs in the 90s.

What quality do you think has served you best in your career so far?

Seeing the value in people and connecting them.

Community is so important to me.

I have a lot of friends that Ive connected with other friends and it makes our community stronger.

My favorite thing to do is connect people.

Whats the best compliment youve ever received?

I do it for myself.

So it makes me feel seen.

Whats your idea of a perfect Sunday?

I just love a day at the beach.

I love the water.

My next (or first) tattoo would be…?

I recently got a henna tattoo on my hand.

I like that it looks like a pattern, like a fabric, so that would be it.

The beach the sand, the suntan oil.

But I also love the smell of a babys breath.

Its just… you know?

Your fantasy superpower would be?

I’ve become a sensitive person, but Im [working up to] using that as a strength.

Who’s onyourA List?

I really admire selfless people like mothers, nurses, and teachers.

But really, teachers: Teaching is the most nurturing thing and we need that right now.
