1. What is your favorite spot or "happy place" in the city you're representing and why?
My favorite spot is anywhere my husband and kids are (usually playing or coaching). That spans over most of the state of Florida, and I love seeing different cities, and coaching/watching being with my family while doing it!
2. If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?
I would encourage my younger self to be confident. I now embrace and love the woman I am/have become, but there were times I struggled to be "me". Once I embraced who I was; my life became clear.
3. What is a small habit or ritual that brings you joy each day?
I want to say something very meaningful (obviously my husband and my kids are my world) but I also love coffee, every morning.. it is just so special
4. If you could spend one day with any inspiring woman—past or present—who would it be and what would you ask her?
Jennie Finch (Softball Player/Olypmic Gold Medalist/Wife Mom) she coaches and empowers young women through sport, and her faith and family. I would ask her "how do you know if you are making a difference"
5. What is a moment in your life that made you feel truly confident or empowered?
There have been a few (I am lucky) the first was earning a Division I Soccer Scholarship-Huge Confidence moment. Then later in my life; having kids, and seeing them become "good/kind humans" has been empowering for me
6. What’s the most Florida thing you’ve ever done?
Spending New Years Eve on the Beach with Family and Friends. Simple, but special.
