Who is your role model and why? “My parents are my role models – my brothers and I were raised with the philosophy that it is important to work hard, to always do what is right and to never compromise your core beliefs.”
What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? “The Christmas after getting engaged to my now husband, we were opening gifts at his parent’s house. I opened my gift from my then fiancé and it was a very nice mixer. Clearly a gift that would be useful as we shared our lives together. The last gift that I opened was from my future in-laws. The small size of the box had me somewhat puzzled… After removing the wrapping paper, I saw that the box bore the Victoria’s Secret label. I carefully opened the box to find lingerie inside. I was rather embarrassed to have received a very practical gift from my future (and current) husband and my future mother-in-law would give a gift that was something I would have expected to have received in private from my future spouse.”
