And now it’s time for the same 5 Questions We Ask Everyone!
How long have you been in Austin and where were you before?
I have been in Austin since January of 2016 and am originally from Maryland.
Austin is known as the Live Music Capital of the World, what’s the best live music show you have ever seen, whether it’s in Austin or not?
It’s extremely difficult to pick my favorite live music show I’ve ever been to because every show is always a great experience, but I did go to a Coldplay concert back in DC and it was most memorable because of all the different light shows, confetti, and visuals they used throughout the set.
What food would you eat 5 times a day if you could?
If I could eat any food 5 times a day it would most likely be cheese, it is definitely my weakness.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 exercises would you do to stay healthy?
If I were stranded on a desert I would run, swim, and do yoga to help keep myself sane and healthy!
