UP CLOSE & PERSONAL QUESTIONNAIRE

What do you most value about your friends? Showing up. People who are there when you need them and are there for you no matter what. Life is made up of moments and people so spending the right moments with the right people is really valuable to me.

Which living person do you most admire?

My father. His knowledge despite his upbringing and his capacity for growth and change has been something I always looked up to.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Having a sense of purpose is essential. Having that and surrounding yourself with close friends and someone you love to spend your life with is essential as well to me.

What is your most treasured possession? I have two. My Imagineering helmet with my name on it and a letter of recommendation from Chris Hadfield to become an astronaut.

What is your greatest fear?

Developing Alzheimer’s and losing my memory.

What is your most marked characteristic? If you know me well, you would see it’s how nerdy I am and how much I love science. If not, it would be my determination.

Which talent would you most like to have? To sing.

What is one trait that you are most grateful for?

That I am optimistic and my ability to forgive.

What is the human trait you most dislike about others?

Hypocrisy.

What is it that you most dislike? How people spend so much time hating other things when you can use that energy towards positive changes in your life.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse? Either “Yup” or “Yooo!” when I’m excited about something. I also tend to ask my friends “Anyone want anything from Elevation?” too often!

What is your favorite words to live by?

“Every breath you take is a step closer to death.” I know that sounds morbid, but I take it in a positive way because it gives your life meaning and makes you consider what to spend your energy on.

Where would you most like to live?

New Zealand or Japan.

If you could have any job, what would it be? I would probably go into the medical field and be a doctor.

What do you hope for the future?

With Social Media and technology, the world is becoming smaller. We are learning about different cultures so I hope with that, there is less animosity between people. I also hope that we can seriously address the problems with climate change because it’s only getting worse.
