The classic movie actress style I most identify with is…Katharine Hepburn. Not for her style so much, as her individuality and independence.

In my fridge you will always find…Kimchi and feta cheese.
I find that on social media my world has changed into…a real-life full color extravaganza of what is constantly going on in my head. It’s slightly odd to watch myself.

If I could compete in an Olympic sport, it would be…Cross-country skiing.
The best career advice I’ve received is…Throw your education, your hobbies, and a void in the community into a blender. That’s your sweet spot. That’s your convergence of joy and success.
On my tombstone, it will say…She Sat Well In Her Skin.
