What was your first job? My first job out of college was at WTOL-TV. But, truth be told, I started working when I was 12 years old mowing lawns, babysitting, and picking strawberries.
What health or lifestyle tips do you support? I support living a fit, healthy, and fun life — I call this the “Total Package Lifestyle.” I have a master plan and goals for each of these areas, and every day, I strive to be a better, kinder person.
Your biggest self-indulgence? One of my favorite things to do is go to a good rock concert, especially with my girlfriends!
I have always wanted to…? Host and produce a television show or documentary that makes a difference in the lives of many.
What trait do you admire in others? I love to see others respecting each other for just who they are. Integrity is a trait I admire.
Something most people don’t know about you? That I work tirelessly on legislation and as an advocate for those 15 million children and adults who live with severe food allergies every day of their lives. Another fun fact that few may know: I was a University of Toledo Rocket cheerleader.
Words you live by? “Run your own race.” Also, my grandfather always told me, “Work hard, be courteous, be honest, be kind.” I love that.
