Are you a coffee or tea person? What is your favorite way to enjoy it (iced, hot, flavored, creamers, etc.)? And are you more of a morning person or a night owl?

I am more of a coffee person, though I do love a good peppermint tea. I can go for all types of coffee but if it’s from Fusion, I’m either getting an iced Pink Panther with skim or a breve flat white.

What is your favorite vacation spot, or where is your dream destination you would love to visit one day?

My favorite vacation spot is Anna Maria Island in Florida. I grew up visiting my grandparents in Bradenton once or twice a year, so I am very fond of it. My dream destination is to see the northern lights.

If you could have dinner with any person (past or present), who would it be and why?

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be my Memaw and Pop. They live just far enough away that dinner doesn’t happen nearly as often as I’d like.

What is one small thing that always makes your day better?

One small thing that always makes my day better is a snapchat of my nieces and nephew from whichever family member is with them.

What is your favorite movie, TV show, or book that you would recommend to others?

A book that majorly shifted my perspective and so I often recommend is The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. My favorite movies are Singin’ in the Rain and Pride and Prejudice, and I love a good Brandon Sanderson book.

Definitely coffee, iced always! Also love a Diet Dr. Pepper. Hmmm…can I say neither? LOL. Don’t love to get up super early, but I love a slow morning, and you’ll find me in bed by 9:30 most nights.

What is your favorite vacation spot, or where is your dream destination you would love to visit one day?

Dream destination would probably be Stowe Vermont or Nantucket.

If you could have dinner with any person (past or present), who would it be and why?

The Queen of course! I’m fascinated by the Royal Family.

My dog! She is my best friend and always makes me so happy!

What is your favorite movie, TV show, or book that you would recommend to others?

Not any one specific show but my fav genre is reality TV, so I’m down for anything with some good drama.
