Favorite childhood memory: When I was 3 or 4 years old, my dad made us a sled. Excited to test it out, my brothers, cousins and I managed to squeeze on the sled (5 children). Being the smallest and sitting in the middle, I was able to feel the adrenaline rush as we rode down the hill. Unfortunately, that ended when we suddenly hit a tree.

Words that describe me best: Friendly, determined, happy, and a hard worker.

I like to watch: So You Think You Can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, America’s Got Talent

In my spare time … I spend it with my husband and daughter

If I’ve learned one thing in life, it is … enjoy every moment with loved ones because time flies, and worry less about all the “little stuff.”
