Advice: “Don’t take things too personal and learn to laugh at yourself. Know that things are going to turn out well because you have the drive to make it go well.”

Surprising fact: “I’m actually 5-1½. It’s kind of a weird thing because I have a big personality and I wear heels a lot, so people don’t realize how short I am.”
