 * 3 words to describe you: Loyal, sarcastic and honest.
 * Favorite hobbies: Reading, writing, traveling and watching horror movies.
 * What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I am most proud of all the countries I have visited! When I was younger, travel didn't seem like a real possibility and I am really proud that I have made that part of my life.
 * What scares you most about traveling? Nothing really scares me about travel! I don't love the idea of becoming ill in a foreign country. I got sick in China once and that wasn’t my favorite experience.
 * What excites you most about traveling? I love everything about travel, seeing new places and meeting new people is so thrilling to me. It’s so cool to see these places I've obsessed over in the pages of travel magazines. There's nothing like being in a new place and experiencing a new culture- it’s one of the greatest things in life.
 * Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on The Race together: We are both so stubborn and always like to be in control. We will definitely find ourselves in a few power struggles.
 * Pet peeve about your teammate: He makes this awful gulping sound when he drinks water lol.
 * What country and place would you most like to visit and why? Tokyo, Japan is high on my list! I have always heard great things about the city and I know there are a lot of great dancers there!
 * What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning one million bucks)? I hope that Matt and I can learn to work together better and really prove what an incredible team we can be together. I also have a major issue letting go of control, so I hope that being out of my comfort zone while racing will help me to get over that and be more comfortable to not be in control of every situation.
