My favorite TV show is Dance Moms. I could actually perform a one-woman show at this point. The quotes, fights, and one-liners of the women featured on the show are another part of my vocabulary at this point. My friends love to pick a random episode and see how long it takes me to name the season and episode title. I have probably watched certain episodes 100 times.

My favorite book is A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maass. This book is the second in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, and it is undeniably the best. The enemies to lovers arc, the seamless blend of romance and fantasy, and the deep character development and imagery make this book unforgettable.

I have a cat named Tinkerbell, although she responds to many names. Some of her favorites seem to be Chicken, Wink, and Frank. She was adopted to be my Emotional Support Animal, however, the roles quickly reversed and I am now her Emotional Support Human. Seriously, this cat screams her head off when I go into another room, gets into the shower with me every day, and is constantly sitting on my neck. I love her to death, and she is my baby.

If I could have any job it would be something involving performing. I was on a stage from the age of three years old and it is definitely my happy place. I was a competitive dancer, a select ensemble singer, and a theater performer across the first 18 years of my life. I love to spend my free time attending shows as an audience member now.

If I could live anywhere in the world it would be somewhere made up. I would want to live within driving distance from Walt Disney World, driving distance to a beach with lots of sea turtles, somewhere with an incredible shopping district with any store I could imagine, and somewhere that gets LOTS of snow but also has very warm and sunny days. This place must have thousands of cats roaming the streets looking for attention from people. Also, storms will be illegal because I hate them.
