- If you could live anywhere, where would it be?

- What was your favorite subject in school?
Psychology. I took almost every psych-related class my school offered. I found the topic so fascinating.

Not needing to sleep. You would get 1/3 of your life back!
- Do you have any pets? What are they and their names?
Yes, my husband and I have a rescue cat named Melina. She likes belly rubs and stealing our pizza crust when we’re not looking.
- What is your favorite book to read?
I love psychological thrillers. They keep me on the edge of my seat with plot twists, unreliable narrators, and cliffhangers.

I’m a pretty risk-averse person, so the most daring thing I’ve done is ride on the back of a motorcycle.
- What would you do if you won the lottery?
Put most of it into savings, then buy a house and travel around Europe.
- What is the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?
My mom made me a scrapbook as a wedding present. It contained pictures of me with all of the important people in my life along with notes of advice they each had written for a long & happy marriage. I will treasure it forever!

“A year from now, you will wish you had started today.” -Karen Lamb
