Get to Know …
- I believe in enjoying the moment! Waking up at 5 a.m. in Brazil as the sun is coming up to drink coffee with your teammates, yelling one more turn as we are all dying to finish a 300 yard shuttle, seeing the tears of happiness on my Mom’s face as she opens her new TV I bought her for Christmas, hiking to the top of a hill in Ramona, laughing at an inside joke with my two best friends Bustos and Bergie, walking around Japan at 7 a.m. because none of us can sleep any longer.
- Life to me is eating a hot dog in the rain with Larry and Denise, DeSeaaan Jackson at a Chargers play off game, yelling Happy New Year after a long night of good conversation in a small restaurant in New York.
- I love sushi, fusion food, funky modern restaurants, live bands and reading a good book that inspires an in-depth conversation. I love the feeling of accomplishment after spending a day tearing up linoleum only to spend the next day laying new tile. I enjoy hosting a get together, cleaning, growing plants, and cooking a new recipe.
- I wish to one day own a mid-century modern home that I can fix up, that also has a view of the city, with a fresh fruit and vegetable stand down the street. I believe you have to have balance in your life spiritually, mentally, and physically.
- My favorite holiday is the 4th of July, play is Le Miserables, culture is Asian, style is modern contemporary.
- I enjoy classic cars and motorcycles. My first car was a 1973 Dodge Challenger that my father and I built.
- Most of all I like to be challenged and do things that I have never done before. There is nothing more important than my family and friends, and being the best person, auntie, and role model I can be.
