What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My most memorable Halloweens have been with my nieces and nephews. Watching them transform into their heroes, their joy and pride shining as they ran from house to house, is unmatched. For one night, they could be anyone—brave, magical, unstoppable. Their laughter and wonder remind me of the heart of Halloween: joy, whimsy, and the magic of becoming.

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

I’d survive a horror movie because I read people and patterns like a sixth sense. As a therapist, adaptability, risk assessment, and staying calm under pressure are second nature. Add in a dash of intuition, quick thinking, and just the right amount of spooky charm—and I’d be the final girl who makes it to the end.

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

First, I’d banish my debt (the scariest monster of them all!). Then, I’d invest in a professional SFX kit—airbrushing, prosthetics, the works. It would fuel my passion for makeup artistry and let me keep creating looks that are equal parts haunting and magical. Truly, $13,000 would turn my horrific dreams into reality.

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

Taylor Swift, of course! She’d grab the mic, distract the villain with a surprise setlist, and then write a #1 hit about our escape. With her witchy adaptability, lyrical spells, and karma as our final girl energy—we’d survive, sparkle, and sell out the sequel!
