What is your favorite book and why?
Right now, I’m reading “Becoming” by First Lady Michelle Obama. It has become my shut-off-the-world pleasure because it is hard to put down once you get started reading. I feel like we had the same childhood — have hardworking, loving parents, and star athletes as older siblings so I would have to live in the shadows until I was old enough to play sports and be good, too.

Dog or cat? Why?
Dogs all the way. I was attacked by a cat one time while visiting my great grandma, and it was a done deal for me dealing with cats.

What do you think is the most positive aspect of living in the River Valley?
It’s the community love. No matter really who you are, if you are in need our community will come together to help. There’s not a lot of communities out there like ours.

What’s something no one would ever guess about you?
That I clog. As a kid, my mom made me and my siblings do some type of dance class. So I jumped back into clogging at the beginning of the year and love it. And it’s also some great cardio.
