City you live in: Scottsdale, AZ
A typical day in my life includes…
being productive and as efficient as I possibly can which includes waking up early, always making my bed, working out, getting sh*t done at work, a trip to Sprouts, cooking at home and finally watching some shows on the couch before bed.
I was born…
in Tucson, AZ but don’t worry, I went to ASU.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the sunsets, the smell of the desert after it rains…and I suppose that all my family and friends live here too J
I’m listening to…
anything Rufus Du Sol.
My family…
means a lot to me. I’m big on traditions and hope I can always uphold and pass on all of my family traditions.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
my grandma. There are so many things I would ask her and get her advice on. I miss her so much. Call someone you love today.
One thing I cannot live without…
organization and purpose (yes, that’s two).
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a pharmacist or dermatologist.
I’m inspired by…
People who do what they love.
The one person who motivates me is…
my brother, boyfriend and myself (so three). My brother has worked really hard to get where he is professionally and personally. We’re both always striving to be better, especially when it comes to working out. We’re super competitive with ourselves…and maybe with each other sometimes. Ryan, you know I could run further 😉 My boyfriend is passionate about everything he does and is constantly learning.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
a cure for dementia and Alzheimer’s.
The perfect day would be…
working out and then spending time with everyone I love!
My first job was…
a photographer assistant in high school where all the high school senior pictures were taken. Smart move since I could take as many of my own and be selective on which one made the yearbook. Looking back at it now, I probably shouldn’t admit that with the picture I selected.
My favorite escape…
Cape Cod, MA.
My life…
is a work in progress that’s filled with fun. I have an amazing group of friends who I consider family.
I’m currently working on…
finding clients our team believes in and are excited about who truly make an impact on people’s lives and also recovering from a partial MCL and Meniscus tear. Be careful out there riding those scooters!
Always…
say something if you’re thinking something nice…especially to a stranger. You’ll make their day!
Never…
regret what you did ;).
Favorite quote…
“Effort is like toothpaste. You can always squeeze a little more out.”
Biggest dream…
to feel accomplished and make an impact.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
To name a few:
- People biting on raw wood…think toothpicks, popsicles, chopsticks… instant chills.
- People who don’t hold doors open behind them.
- People who don’t put their shopping carts away.
- Wasting time.
