1. Where do you consider home?
A lot of different places. I'd say NY is partially my home. Springfield is definitely my home. I studied abroad in London, I would consider that partially home. A lot of different places are home to me.
2. Favorite place you've been in the world?
Alaska. Most of our time was in Anchorage, but we went north to Fairbanks and went dog sledding and saw the Northern Lights.
3. If you could go to one place, where would it be?
I've always said I want to go to India. I think I romanticize it, all the colors and movies I watch. But I've heard it's not the kindest to women. But I still think I'd love the colors and the food and the spices.
​
4 If you could have dinner with one person dead or alive, who would it be?
I have been telling people that I would spend $10,000 to spend 20 minutes talking candidly with Queen Elizabeth. I've been watching The Crown and I have a lot of questions.

5. If you could have an endless supply of any food, what would you choose?
Vegan Cheese. I can't really handle cheese, even though I eat it a lot. Vegan cheese I think tastes better than cheese, and I feel good.
6. What's your irrational fear?
Not being able to move. If I lost mobility and couldn't explore and walk. Maybe that's later in life, but I do think about it.

20. What's the best advice you've ever received?
Recently I was told to listen to your own feelings more. Listen to your own needs more than others, and I've tried to do that and it's served me well.
