As child, what did you think you wanted to be? 

My childhood best friend and I always dreamed of being farmers. Funny enough, I ended up as an organic farmer for three years in my 20’s and was considering buying a piece of land to start my own business when I decided to switch gears and go back to school for personal training.

What’s the chorus of your all time favourite song? 

Sweet sweet fantasy baby… need I say more? Mariah forever. 

When was the last time you surprised yourself? 

I think I surprised myself late last year when I decided to go back to school (in my 30’s!) to become a firefighter. It’s something I’ve always had in the back of my mind, but finally decided to take the leap. Career changes are scary, but I’m proud of myself for going for what I want!
