1. WHAT'S YOUR HOTTEST TAKE?
The bar exam is hard, but thriving in a male-dominated field is the real challenge!

Any of the Real Housewives. They're not always perfect, but they know how to keep things entertaining and that's why I love 'em!

My kids. Husband knows he's a close second and he's fine with it... I think lol.

Sometimes I stay up late and watch reality shows like Real Housewives or Love Island when I should definitely be asleep. No regrets... except in the morning.

My grandma passed away before I was born but she's always been someone I deeply admire and feel connected to. I would love to have a glimpse into the life she lived.

8. ARE YOU MODERN OR POSTMODERN?
Depends on the day...
9. WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?
The thought of losing someone I love.
