What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloween was with my husband—it was the first time I showed him my creativity. I did our makeup and we turned our garage into a haunted house. He didn’t realize how fun it is to scare people until that night. Seeing him light up while we made guests jump was unforgettable, and it made me love Halloween even more.

Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.

I’d make it to the end of a horror movie because I’m resourceful, quick-thinking, and thrive under pressure. My work in public affairs has taught me how to read people, adapt fast, and stay calm in chaos. I’m not afraid to get creative—whether it’s problem-solving or Halloween makeup—and I know when to stand my ground or make a smart escape. Plus, I can turn any safe space into a fortress.

What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?

With $13,000, I’d take a dream trip to Ireland, where Halloween first began, to soak in its history and traditions. I’d explore ancient sites, join local festivals, and gather inspiration for my own creative projects—especially makeup looks. I’d also set aside part for mental health therapy and self-care, making it a balance of adventure, creativity, and personal growth.

Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?

My real-life hero is my husband, and he’s who I’d want by my side in a horror movie. He’s steady under pressure, quick to protect, and can make me laugh even in scary moments. We’ve already survived building a haunted house together, so I know we make a great team. He’d keep me grounded while I get creative with plans, and together we’d find a way to outsmart anything—monsters, ghosts, or whatever comes our way.
