1.  What is your favorite color? I don’t have one favorite color but am very partial to burgundy and rich blues.  

2.  What’s your favorite food?  I love Mexican and Italian equally! More specifically, chips and salsa, and pizza and bruschetta.

3.  When you’re not dominating the insurance business, what do you like to do with your free time? I enjoy any time with my family! Looking forward to catching up on the tons of family dinners, parties and cozy gatherings we missed this past year.

4.  What are you most proud of? I am very proud of my parents who sacrificed a lot for myself and my 3 sisters. They also are great role models, leading by example and instilling a great work ethic in us.

5.  What’s the scariest thing you’ve done? I am not much of a daredevil. I tend to play things pretty safe. So my husband gave me his blessing to say getting married is the scariest thing I’ve done.

6.  Where do you like to travel and why? My husband and I recently took a road trip up the coast to San Francisco. We stopped at several spots along the way. This was one of our favorite trips and we hope to repeat but extend it a little farther North each time.

7.  What is something about you that very few people know? This is not a secret but not everyone is aware I’m a vegetarian.
