| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience is visiting SeaWorld with my family and petting a live dolphin. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify mostly with my grandfather because we share similar socioeconomic and political views. I also admire how he made his own way in life, raising and supporting a family. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire people who are genuine with a good sense of humor. I also admire people who have a hard work ethic and have a good sense of responsibility. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | So many to choose from! I guess the funniest thing to EVER happen to me is slipping and falling into a tank of farm animal waste during veterinary school. It was not funny to me at the time, but my friends thought otherwise. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would go to two places. 1) New Zealand - It's a beautiful nation, and I'd love to watch the unique wildlife there. 2) Back country canoeing through Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | My sense of humor, love for animals and the outdoors. I'd also like to pass along my sense of responsibility for personal and professional life. |
