What’s your favorite spot in the tri-state area? Philadelphia Art Museum

What’s your favorite place you’ve travelled? Tie between Paris, France and Nakuru, Kenya

What makes you laugh the most? My brother, Todd. I have pulled over to the side of a road while driving because I have laughed so hard with him.

What’s your favorite smell? Most everyone knows I am vegan but two of my most favorite smells are BBQ pork and fried okra because I am reminded of my grandma.

What’s your top three favorite movies? Disclaimer: I love science fiction movies so... Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, The Empire Strikes Back, Despicable Me (hey, those Minions are definitely sci fi!)

What's your hidden talent or a fun fact about you? In college I did an Elton John impression of the song, "Crocodile Rock" with the words changed for my sorority fundraiser .

What’s your favorite family tradition? Sunday dinner with macaroni, meatballs, and gravy. I do not eat the meat. Ask an Italian friend about gravy.

If you could have dinner with anyone (past, present, future) who would it be? Jesus would be my hands down first choice. I would also enjoy sharing a meal with Michelle Obama. Thomas Jefferson would round out my list.
