Do you consider yourself a romantic and why?
Yes, I grew up watching 80’s movies. i want the Jake character from the end of 16 Candles or Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything — I want the guy to pursue me and then make an enormous romantic gesture like holding a boom box over his head.

Do you have any family holiday or special event traditions that you plan to uphold?
Every Christmas Eve we exchange the ugliest pajamas we can find and play a family board game together.
