Who is your celebrity crush and why?
Who isn’t my celebrity crush? I think I will always have a thing for Mila Kunis. I’ve had dreams about her. She is such a baddie and her laugh gives me chills.
What’s the theme song of your life?
Cake Team by Fetty Wap or anything by T-Pain do yourself a favor and listen to him without auto-tune it’s magic
What do you think your parents are most proud of you for?
For graduating high school with a solid GPA and getting into college. I know my mom is extra proud that I don’t have any tattoos by now. (Sorry ma, the latter is going to change soon)
What’s your favorite part about living in Seattle?
I love the city and different places you can explore within a walking distance. Where I’m from on Oahu is pretty quiet and doesn’t have as much action as cap hill, so I like the change of pace.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A world-traveling, patriarchy-smashing, wine-drinking badass grandma who has friends in every continent.
