What is your favorite type of weather? It is a mix between stormy in the summer, and beautiful sunny in the autumn. I’ve always been an autumn type gal, but I’ve come to love summer and the storms it can bring. I think it’s because both of them bring about change in an otherwise calm situation, and while I personally hate changing, subconsciously I am always changing, and I feel that the…

What makes a good leader? Someone like Queen Medb. Or Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Someone who fights beside the people they lead, and take responsibility for their own actions. Standing on the front lines and willing to sacrifice everything for the greater good.

What’s the trait you value most about yourself? I feel rather self-centered in answering this question, so I’ll try and answer based on my asking someone else, someone who really knows me. ‘She is so kindhearted and gentle.

Simply because I’ve always felt a connection to both of them, even before I learned of my heritage. I’ve wanted…

My absolute favorite coffee place in the world of coffee (let’s be honest, the furthest I’ve ventured in the land of coffee is Einstein Bros. There are so many more out there.) But it’s the brand I drink most often. Especially in autumn, when their Nitro Pumpkin Latte is…

Do you see yourself as a leader? I have wanted to be a leader. But, I do not trust myself enough to be one. However, I like to think that in some cases, I have been. Such as being the first woman to want to do the heavy and hard work inside the warehouse. (This is what the manager told me, I’m not sure if it’s true, but it certainly made me feel good). Being one of two women driving a step van…
