• Favorite television show:  I’m hooked on "Private Practice," "Grey’s Anatomy" and "CSI Miami"

• Favorite sports team: Indiana Colts and the Sacramento Kings

• Whom do you most admire and why? I most admire my children because they are both so innocent and so kind (for the most part) and always willing to help out and give to others. I admire their innocence and eagerness to learn and ability to be such awesome children.

• Tell us about a life-changing experience: I think my life-changing experience would be being surrounded by death between work and school, I have learned to enjoy more out of life and to live in the moment rather than always being a worry wart.

• What was your first job? My first job was at an assisted living center at age 16.

• What was your least/favorite subject in school? Math. I hate math.

• What are your favorite foods? I love veggies and I can always go for a good hamburger!

• Favorite movie: "The Hangover" was a good one but my all-time favorite would be "The Story of Us"
