What is your first memory of being really excited?Going to my first college football game at LSU. I was born and raised to be a LSU fan, and my family is really into sports. My dad let me sit on his shoulders when we watched the band march into Tiger Stadium. There's so much history and culture there. It was so exhilarating to be part of that experience.
Who is your hero?My mom. She's faced and overcome so much adversity in her life. She embodies the strength, compassion, and character I try to incorporate into my everyday life. She's an amazing human being.

What three items would you take with you on a deserted island? Some type of device to play music, floaties, and a boat....because who wants to be stranded on a deserted island?
Who is your favorite superhero? Dunununun, Batman!
What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten? Escargot.
What is your favorite home cooked meal? Shrimp or crawfish etouffe. It's a spicy and cajun classic for southerners like me!

What do you want to be when you grow up? An occupational therapist specializing in neurorehabilitation.
What is the first song that pops up on your favorite Pandora or Spotify station? Shake Senora by Pitbull. Ha ha, what can I say? I like to exercise to the 'Latin Dance Music' station. :)
Which celebrity are you constantly mistaken for? A childhood friend once told me I looked like an Asian Hilary Duff. Still don't see it.
If a genie gave you three wishes, what would they be? I would wish for all the homeless animals in the world to find their FURever homes, to travel the world for free, and an endless supply of sushi.

What is your favorite part about the Spectrum Project? Getting to know everyone and seeing the kiddos have a blast!
