Halloween is more than a holiday to me—it’s a vibe. I bring the fun, the scares, and the spirit that makes it unforgettable.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
One Halloween, I went all out as a vampire—fangs, cape, and dramatic hisses at every door. The kids screamed, the parents laughed, and I had the time of my life staying in character all night. That was the moment I realized Halloween isn’t just about candy, it’s about creating memories that stick with you forever.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’d make it because I’ve got common sense and survival instincts—I’m not splitting up from the group, I’m not opening the creepy door, and I stay calm when it counts. Plus, I’m protective of the people I care about, so I’d fight to keep us all alive. That’s final girl energy right there.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I’d turn unlucky into something life-changing. I’d put part of it toward my education in forensic psychology, give back to Lupus awareness, and save the rest for experiences that bring joy and adventure. To me, $13,000 isn’t unlucky—it’s an opportunity to build something lasting.
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My mom—hands down. She’s the strongest person I know, quick on her feet, and always ready to protect the people she loves. In a horror movie, she wouldn’t just survive, she’d take charge and make sure I made it too. Together, we’d outsmart anyone—or anything—that came our way.
