Describe yourself in one word. Bubbly. Whether I’m meeting someone for the first time or the hundredth time, I greet everyone with a cheerful smile.

What’s on your bucket list? To travel to every Florida State football game in a season. Since we graduated, my husband and I have been season ticket holders, and while we haven’t been able to attend every game so far, we always try to attend at least one home game and one away game each season. Go, Noles!

Red or White Wine? Neither. Grab the rum; it’s worth a shot!
