Biggest Guilty Pleasure? My boyband playlist on Pandora. (C’mon, I’m a 90’s kid!)

Most played song on your ipod? Beyonce was recently passed up by 21 Pilot’s “The Run and Go.”

If you could have any super power, what would it be? Fly

Once interesting fact: I’ve surfed with dolphins and paddleboarded with alligators.
