I was a tomboy when I was younger. I preferred reading MAD magazine over Seventeen (like my girlfriends). I’m also a great cook!

I’m ok just being me!
If you could interview one person (dead or alive) who would it be and why?
My Dad, I knew a lot about my dad, but I wish I would have written down more of his stories, and things he did in his life, things that made him the man he was, not just my dad.

Not famous for, but remembered for being a great person, Mom, wife, sister, daughter, and friend.
