Q: What is your favorite Movie or TV show?

A: Brooklyn 99! I have rewatched it over and over because of the humor and comedic timing (the last season isn’t good though).  

Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?

A: Spend time with my husband, or friends!

Q: Share something quirky or unusual about yourself:

A: I was a psychology major. I LOVE personality types and helping people learn about themselves. Also I collect strawberry things and mugs. 🙂

Q: In the movie about your life, which actor/actress would portray you?

A: Jessica Chastain? I don’t like this question lol  

Q: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?

Q: Is there anything else we should know about you?

A: I have been to Ireland twice and love it so very much; I can’t wait to go back! My husband and I met doing music and I love praying through praise and worship with him.
