What are you most excited about when you get up in the morning?

My morning run! I used to hate running, but I’ve grown to love it! Helps me clear my head and get my blood flowing, my day never feels right without a nice morning run!

What’s something that people wouldn’t know about you upon first glance?

Up until the end of high school, I actually aspired to be a professional athlete! It’s something people don’t usually expect because I don’t look the part haha!

What’s your spirit animal?

My spirit animal is none-other than the butterfly! They start off as a caterpillar, and they need to struggle to overcome their cocoon in order to successfully become a butterfly! I really buy into that whole “no pain, no gain” mantra!

Who inspires you to be a better person?

The people around me and my dog! My family inspires me to do well so I can help them retire, and my dog.. well.. I always aspire to be the hooman my dog thinks I already am!

If you had an unexpected day off, what would you do?

I’d go explore somewhere! I’m usually good at making time to explore whenever I get a chance to travel, but I actually haven’t done too much of that in LA where I actually live!
