I AM...
A former movie theater projectionist with aspirations of producing a feature-length film
A frequent movie extra, including a zombie on The Walking Dead and a Capitol citizen in The Hunger Games
A nerd about applied social psychology, in particular research and theories on priming and persuasion
Extremely trypophobic
Someone who enjoys solving riddles, puzzles and mysteries
Fascinated by the paranormal, such as time travel and the Mandela effect. I want to believe!
Blessed to be alive after nearly becoming a tornado victim on my 23rd birthday
A die hard Georgia Bulldog who bleeds red and black – Go Dawgs!
From Atlanta, southern at heart, and believes unsweet tea is prima facie unacceptable
A believer that the ’80s were the best decade

I AM...
A volunteer with the Sickle Cell Disease Foundation, Make-A- Wish Foundation, and Camp Crescent Moon, a summer camp for children with Sickle Cell Disease
An EDM “big boom” music junkie to ease the pain on the “parking lot” of the 405 freeway
A bibliophile whose favorite authors are Rollo May, John Grisham and Sister Souljah – who help me escape into a different world
A theologue who loves studying historical records and accounts of Christian theology
A Californian by way of Chicago, who enjoys the beaches, hiking trails and canyons, and the Mojave Desert on an ATV quad
Striving to eat a 100% plant-based diet, however more of an organic guy who loves farm-to-table dining
An only child
An oenophile who loves to collect grapes and red wines from different vineyards and regions
Appreciative for my diverse, Los Angeles office colleagues from all over the world that have taught me many different cultural experiences
An avid weekend traveler – the best part of living in California is everything in our own backyard – I can feel like I traveled to a Cannes resort on the French Riviera after a few glasses of great wine

I AM...
A new mom to Finley Joy, who in my (unbiased) opinion is the sweetest baby girl in the world
A lover of all animals and a strong animal welfare advocate
Married to the most amazing husband, Bo, who I try and keep up with every day
A major music lover, who was stoked to recently meet Don Felder, formerly of the Eagles, and has seen Zac Brown Band live at least nine times
A cat mom to Desmond Howard and dog mom to Bear
A proud University of Michigan fan (not at all forced by my husband, who was named after the legendary football coach Bo Schembechler)
A golfer, ever since my husband bought me my first set of clubs for our one-year dating anniversary – over 10 years ago
A perfectionist who is also self-aware enough to know I’ll never reach perfection
Far more introverted than anyone typically thinks I am
A firm believer you can achieve anything you set your mind to through hard work, and committed to raising my daughter to believe and live this way
