WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
In Olathe, Kansas. I was born in Okinawa, Japan and I lived in North Carolina and South Carolina for a bit before settling in Kansas.

WHAT WOULD YOUR DREAM VACATION BE?
Anywhere tropical where I can just sit on the beach and relax. Bali and Bora Bora are at the top of my list.

IF YOU HAD TO WATCH ONE SPORT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
Track and field if you consider that to be one sport. I like how fast-paced and exciting it can be as well as the variety of events. Fun fact: I used to do short sprints and triple jump.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE FAMOUS FOR?
Photography – specifically landscape photography.

WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT?
As of right now, Rudy’s Pizzeria. It’s a really good pizza joint in Lawrence, Kansas. I’m such a foodie though so I’ll probably have a new favorite by next month.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE OUTDOOR ACTIVITY?
Paddleboarding. It’s so relaxing and I love being out in the water.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
I really enjoy puzzles so I usually have a jigsaw or a crossword lying around somewhere. Other than that, finding new music, trying local restaurants, or going to the gym.
