Fun Facts
What’s the one movie you could watch a million times and never get tired of, and why?
I will rewatch any John Hughes rom-com, but specifically The Breakfast Club, because when I first saw the movie during my high school years, I watched it every day for a week. I don’t have a concrete explanation for it.
If you could instantly become an expert in anything, what would it be?
If I could instantly become an expert in anything, I would love for it to be glass blowing to be able to create anything imaginable from jewelry to a chandelier. I would also incorporate recycled materials to give them a new purpose.
