My favorite quote: “For poise walk with the knowledge you are never alone”- Audrey Hepburn

What inspires me: Watching someone realize and then walking in their full potential.

The natural talent I’d like to be gifted with: I would love to fluently speak several languages.

My favorite motto: There are seven days in a week and someday is not one.

One thing most people don’t know about me: Most people don’t know that I am a licensed cosmetologist with a specialty in color. Now all my friends have highlights.
