Tell me about a project or accomplishment that you consider to be most significant in your career:

finally finding the courage at 42 to start my own business.

What things do you not like to do:

Since I own a Public Relations firm this is going to seem like I am completely insane… writing press releases. This is of course, why I hire someone that has better skills in that department. It’s not that I can’t do it – it’s just a painstakingly long process for me.

What is your perfect pizza . . .

Sausage-Broccoli Rabe

What kitchen utensil do you use most frequently.

What does this say about me… a cork screw! HA HA

Who is your secret celebrity crush . . .

Prince Harry – I love a ginger plus I am already a bit of a princess.

Are you a night owl or morning person. . .

Morning person hands down. I am generally up and working by 4AM and in bed before 10. My partner calls this my farmer gene.

What time of day were you born. . .

4:42 AM on August 25th in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Do you know your heritage . . .

No, I am adapted so I have no clue and I have gotten everything from Irish to Italian to Jewish to Middle Eastern???

Do you follow astrology? What is your zodiac sign . . .

I am a Virgo born on the cusp of Leo, with a Leo rising and Gemini moon. I tend to say that makes me anal retentively outrageous.

What would your DJ name be . . .

Grandma Sleepytime.

Do you ave a favorite number. . . .

I thought of the number 7 immediately – what does that mean?

Sale rack.. one can look really put together if they have a sense of flair buying at a discount.

What is your present state of mind . . .

On the go…

It’s 6pm at your favorite bar or restaurant, what drink do you order . . .

Dirty Vodka Martini with extra olive please.

Do you wake with or without an alarm. . .

Without (unless I had to many martinis the night before).

Uber, Taxi, Subway or City Bike. . . .

Depends on my timing but all are an option.

What song is is ready to play on your playlist . . . .

Mackelmore “Downtown” Oh wait.. can I change my celebrity crush…. that dude who sings back up on this track Eric Nally from Foxy Andromeda is kind of dreamy too.

What is the last photo you took with your cell phone. . . . .

Truth… Anna Wintour’s backside exiting the elevator after a meeting with Architectural Digest.

One of the best lessons my parents taught me is to….

My grandmother told me I could do anything in the world if I just put my mind to it.

My dogs.
