Who's your favorite "Game of Thrones" character?
Fun fact: I am in the 1% that has never seen the show. But I've heard that Arya Stark lives life on her own terms and doesn't make apologies for who she is. My kind of woman!
Which GOT character do you think you would be?
Sansa Stark. Or Ellaria Sand in her yellow dress.
Who would you have put on the Iron Throne? In life or from the show?
Ellen DeGeneres. She is funny and honest and helps bring people together. The world would be a better place with more dance parties, more laughing at ourselves and animal videos on a daily basis.
Last book you read and/or show you binge-watched?
I read "The 5 Second Rule" by Mel Robbins and "Billion Dollar Whale" by Tom Wright and Bradley Hope, and I watched "Parks and Recreation" and the Netflix series "7 Days Out."
If you ruled the world (or Chattanooga), what would you change?
I would focus on enhancing public education, on eliminating food deserts and on developing a stronger plan for public transportation.
Who would be on your advisory council?
Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, because they know how to raise money, make money, and give money back to the community.
Is ruler a position you'd even want?
No. "Ruler" implies that one person has all the power, and that is not healthy for anyone or any organization.
What drives you professionally and/or personally?
I like to say that I was born on third base - I have an incredible support system (friends and family), a solid education, an attractive health care plan, a job that I enjoy, all of my needs and a ton of my wants. What drives me is to help other people who haven't had the advantages that I have been given. The way I get to home plate is by helping to create opportunities for others and by providing them with a platform to be seen and heard.
What's one thing you'd really like to accomplish? Has that goal changed over the years?
I would love to start my own company or run a foundation one day. Either direction would involve helping others achieve their goals. Since my background is in the arts, I am sure that there would be an element of that in the mix.
