La Quinta, California.

What’s your sign?

I’m a Cancer. 🦀

Are you a dog or cat person?

I’m a cat person.

I like to cook or bake a new recipe, hangout with my friends, dance, and re-watch Nora Ephron movies.

What’s something on your bucket list?

I want to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and go to Machu Picchu.

What’s your favorite dish here?

My favorite brunch dish is any variation of the Benedict Chef Paul makes. My favorite dinner dish is the Duck Marsala.

Why are you leaving Chestnut?

I’m off to pursue a long-term career path for myself and spend more time with my baby niece.

I can roller skate, I could eat chips and guacamole everyday and never get sick of it, and I love doing karaoke.

I want to travel the world and spend as much time as I can with people who make me laugh until my belly hurts.
