If you got a tattoo, what would it be: I don’t actually want a tattoo. I’m an artist and I like to draw or paint on myself a lot but I like them because they are temporary. I feel like I would want to change my tattoo after about a week if I got one.
What is the best advice someone has given you: A few years ago, my aunt had the opportunity to meet Leland Melvin. She got a video from him for me and he said to keep my dreams of being a pilot and going into space and a few other things and now I watch it whenever something gets particularly hard.
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be: Probably the views people have of others in the sick way they then treat them. Along with it, get rid of the assholes in power who promote this and are endangering the entire world. It’s a big ask but I would like to see it happen.
Are you a morning person or night person: I dunno. I say I hate mornings but I really only hate mornings when I have to get up early as told by others. I actually like them when I get up on my own and am able to watch the sunrise and enjoy the quiet. Alternatively, I love the night and would like nothing more sometimes than to spend the whole night walking under the stars.
Biggest pet peeve: Oh god I have so many. One is when I’m either trying to talk or do something and know I’m right or can do it and a few assholes completely talk over or ignore me.
Do you have any special talents: Yes. I have many. One of my favorites is my ability to be a complete sweetheart on the outside while I am plotting someone’s destruction and they have no idea.
Would you want to live forever? Why or why not: No because I like the idea of life and how temporary it is. You only have now to do something with your life and to meet people and fall in love and see things. I like to live rather than just exist.
Have you ever been in love: I don’t think so romantically. I’ve never been in a relationship but I had a friend when I was little who was probably the closest I’ve had to something like that. I don’t know if I felt love for him or if it was just a friendship that went deeper than what most people experience. Now though, I know I love my friends. They are my sisters and I’m not sure I could function if any of them were permanently gone from my life.
What do you want your legacy to be: I want to be remembered in a way that makes people smile. I want to make an impact in their life for the better and leave the world better than it is now.
What do you want to do with your life: I want to become a pilot. I want to take the time to do my trip around the world. I want to design planes and rockets and other things. I want to be an astronaut. Then once I’ve done all that I want to have a small house on a big piece of land with open space and woods in the western US and build my own small rockets and launch them for fun with someone by my side, and every once in a while we would just pack up and go somewhere new.
What is a book you read recently and really enjoyed: Artemis by Andy Weir. It takes place on the moon (yay!) following a self-sufficient and sarcastic narrator (more yay!) and involves real science in a really cool setting (lots of yay!).
Who is someone that matters in your life: I usually answer this with my friends or my parents but I’ll be different this time. I’d have to say my big brother Zack. We may not be related by blood but he has definitely adopted himself into that role in my life and I couldn’t be happier to have him. I don’t say it enough, so thank you Zack.
What is your favorite kitchen utensil: Rubber spatulas.
Do you play any sports: Yes. I have been dancing for most of my life and I have skied since I was 3 or 4 (and recently I set a new speed record of 63.6 mph!). I also play field hockey as a goalie.
If you could make anything an Olympic sport, what would it be: Kiddie pool kick ball. The bases are small inflatable kiddie pools, the baselines are tarps sprayed with soap and water, you kick a ball softer than a kickball (ideally something large and light), and there are several pool noodles you can either hit runners with or hit people with as you slide past them on the tarps.
