What have you read or seen over the past year that moved or surprised you?

The Confidence Code by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman. It has inspired me to be bolder, take bigger risks, and tackle new challenges in my life.

What are you listening to right now?

Taylor Swift "1989" in the car, and Dan Fogelberg's "The Innocent Age" on vinyl at home.

What's the last great book you read?

The Fault In Our Stars. I was late to it, but it moved me so much, I actually can't see the movie. Too emotionally brutal. I can't go through that story again!

What's one thing you're a fan of that people might not expect?

I have a bizarre fascination with traditional Chinese opera. I will go into YouTube wormholes watching performances. Farewell My Concubine is a favorite movie of mine.

What's your favorite comfort food?

Pizza!
