1.What is 1 beauty product you cannot live without?
Sunscreen: As someone who loves spending time outdoors, sunscreen is a must, especially in the sunshine state.

2.If you had to do over anything what would it be?
Nothing; everything I have done in life has placed me where I am today, with the people I love and doing the things I love. Every mistake has been a lesson learned and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them.

3.Who would you love to meet and why?
I would love to meet Stella McCartney. I am so inspired by her. As a designer and female business owner, I would love to hear about how she has found success in such a competitive industry while balancing her family. Additionally, what makes Stella so amazing is that throughout her success, she has stayed true to her ethics, and her company remains one of the most sustainable fashion brands today.

4.Favorite vacation?
My favorite vacation was the year I spent studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I spent my time there studying and traveling. One thing that is so important to me is getting to see the world and experience other cultures. On my travels, I went to countries like Egypt, Malta, and more. My year abroad has influenced me in so many ways, whether it be healthy living choices or fashion inspiration!

5.What do you normally eat for breakfast?
I love a mixed-berry peanut butter smoothie. Nutrition is so important that I took a college course on it. There I learned that starting your day with a healthy fat like peanut butter is so healthy. Berries are always a great choice, and if I’m feeling like something extra, I’ll add a side of turkey sausage for protein. Breakfast is so important for providing the energy needed to get me through my busy schedule.
