What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

My first haunted house with my father, he's passed now, but he taught me the art of scaring (and surviving). He haunted the streets of our neighborhood every Halloween, popping out at teens with his terrifying clown costume and mask.

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

I'm a survivor. With the amount of horror movies I've seen and studied, and real life terrifying experiences I've lived through, I know my strengths and abilities. I'd absolutely make it to the end simply because of my determination.

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

I would take the money and donate at least $2,000 to Mental Health America (MHA) in my father's name. Unfortunately, I lost him to his mental illness. I think Mental Health isn't talked about enough. I also just barely survived my own mental Illness, and I'm lucky and grateful to still be here. I would use the remainder to help my parents pay off my medical bills, and if there is anything left over, I'd send my family on a nice vacation. They deserve it more than anyone.

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

My hero is absolutely my mother. She pulled me out of my real life horror movie, and gave me a purpose to live again. She is the most deserving and devoted woman I have ever met. She has built a beautiful life for my family after absolute tragedy.
