What are you listening to?
Really nothing specific. It’s whatever is on the radio. For music, I like 97.7 or 102.7 FM … I always listen to the FLY 92 morning show. I’m not a big pop music fan, but I love that show.
What are you reading?
I’m in grad school and I have a baby, so I don’t have time to read. I’m reading all my grad school books.
What are you watching on TV?
I really love to watch “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” … I’m a big comic book movie/TV fan.
What’s your favorite movie of the past year?
The movie “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” was really good.
What are some of your hobbies?
With the baby and school it is kind of hard, but I used to a lot of arts and crafts, painting, different types of drawings, scrapbooking and photos.
What is your dream vacation?
Greece — I just think it is a beautiful, old country. We don’t have buildings our history like that.
What would your last meal be?
Probably some sort of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, but the actual meal … I like fresh seafood, so anything with clams or mussels and pasta. I grew up Italian, so my favorite meal of the year is what we do on Christmas Eve.
What is your favorite local moment?
The way the community comes together, like with the Rodino family or some other families we have helped in the past, and even if you look at any of the local events … those are always very well attended. I have been in a lot of different types of communities, and there is not that type of support.
What is a surprising fact about you?
When I was growing up, I wanted to go into the health field. I almost became a nurse … until I reached 16 or 17 and realized I couldn’t stand the sight of blood. That was a big no-go, so I had to change my plans.
