strong intelligent
I am drawn to roles that are strong, intelligent, and a little edgy.
valentino
I have this vintage Valentino clutch. Ughhh, it's so pretty! Also, I'm not a big fur person, but I'll do a vintage fur every now and then.
breakfast love places son
I love to try new restaurants and breakfast places I can take my son to.
dressed excuse love
I love dressing up around the holidays! My friends also really like to get dressed up. It's an excuse to get fancy.
minnesota moved school spent
I moved from Minnesota to Las Vegas when I was 13, so I spent my high school years there and did some things I'm not proud of.
bit freedom growing mostly run sports
Growing up in Minnesota, I had a lot of freedom to run around, and we had go-carts and four-wheelers and all that stuff. I like that adrenalin-rush stuff. I did a little bit of dance, but mostly sports.
played
I played tennis and softball, and we had horses, growing up.
background came sports
My background is in dance. No, I'm kidding. I was actually really uncoordinated as a child, when it came to dance, but I did play a lot of sports, and I do some break-dancing from time-to-time. No, I really don't.
optimistic ideas knowing
It's so weird, not knowing what your life is going to be. I'm being optimistic. And when 'Leverage' comes to an end, I have lots of ideas for other things. You can't really sit and wait for things to come to you.
fun son weekend
I enjoy doing fun things outdoors with my son to stay in shape. We like camping together. After a weekend in the woods, I'm sorer than after a week at the gym!
kids active
I was really active as a kid. I was outdoors constantly.
gratitude giving-up hard-work
Passion. Confidence. Gratitude. The possibility of making positive change in the world. It's the sort of "spark" one gets the moment they decide to go after what they want, really fight for it, work hard, and not give up. I love that spark; it's beautifully contagious.
knowing loving-someone decision
I would say, being a parent is what makes me vulnerable. Loving someone so much it scares you. Knowing you'd do anything for them and then realizing there will come a time when you have to loosen the reins and let them figure it out on their own, and then trusting that you/they are making the right decisions.
mind care take-care
I find that if I use my time well and take care of my mind/body when I'm outside of work, then I feel more supported throughout my day.
