What are three words that best describe you? Energetic, musical and optimistic.

What is your favorite comfort food meal? Growing up, my mother used to always make ginger cookies when she knew I was going to be up late studying for an exam. Ever since, I have used them as a comfort food.

What is the best gift you have ever received? On Christmas when I was nine years old, my parents gave me a little poodle puppy, who has been my best friend ever since.

How would you describe your ideal marriage proposal? My ideal marriage proposal would be a Disney World proposal at Cinderella's castle during the fireworks!

The saying goes “like mother, like daughter.” What is one thing that you find yourself doing just like your mom? Cheerleading! My mom was a Patriots Cheerleader in the late seventies/early eighties.

What is your dream job? Someday I would really like to work in pediatric oncology at Children's Hospital in Boston.

What would you say is the theme song to your life? I would say the theme song to my life would be a Frank Sinatra tune. Something like "That’s Life" or "The Best is Yet to Come."

Do you have any phobias? While most people are afraid of looking down from tall places, I get really nervous when I look up at tall buildings. It makes me feel unstable and dizzy.

What is your definition of “happiness?” To me happiness is a combination of warmth, love and self-content. It partially comes from feeling comfortable with your surroundings, and partially comes from feeling comfortable in yourself.

What is the number one thing on your bucket list? I really want to climb Mount Everest. Not up the entire mountain but at least to the base camp, just to say that I have!
