What do you like to do outside of school and work? 

I don't really have a lot of hobbies, but I enjoy shopping and reading. I like to shop a lot. My daughter and I go shopping every weekend. We don't always buy stuff, sometimes we just like to get out and look around at stuff in the stores. I also like to read nonfiction books.  

What is it about nonfiction that you like? 

When I was in high school, my favorite classes were history and social studies. I like watching documentaries on historical events but when I'm reading, I like to make time to escape into a nonfiction book like mysteries. Just to be able to get away from reality for a bit and you can just imagine the characters in a book however you want to imagine them and envision them however you want to. It's funny because then when books are made into movies, sometimes I see the character and that's not at all how I've felt the character will look.  

Do you like to travel?  

In 2019, I went on a cruise to the Bahamas, which was beautiful. I would love to go on another cruise just because it's very affordable for everything that you do. I want to go to Mexico, and they have a cruise to Cozumel, that I would like to do. I've also always wanted to go to Europe, so I would like to go on a European tour one day. I would also love to go to Hawaii.
