What do you like to do in your free time?
It’s very rare that I get free time, so when I do I like to take full advantage of it. My absolute favorite thing to do is to veg out in my bed and watch Netflix. Otherwise I try and travel home to Chicago to see family. Or go to brunch. I love brunch.
What is your favorite movie?
Stand by Me
If you could describe one place to be your happy place, where would it be?
Over the summer I traveled to Peru with VCU and we visited this one place on the way back from the Maras salt mines. It was absolutely beautiful. Every time I think of my happy place that is where I end up…in a barley field, in the middle of the mountains, not a person in sight for miles around…
What makes you smile?
My niece Lucy, she is so beautiful and always makes me laugh.
