What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

One Halloween at the age of 13 l was allowed to have some of my friends come over. Rather than purchasing costumes, we wanted our makeup to be the scare factor while wearing our everyday clothes. We bought last minute a dollar store equivalent makeup kit, and painted each other's faces with white and red and grey crayons to look as bloody, gory, and decayed as we could. We spent the night chasing down my siblings, taunting them with our might zombie cries and painted faces.

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

What is a final girl in a horror film, if not scrappy, horribly unlucky at times, and can unleash a piercing scream from the depths of her lungs? When the pressure is on I know l am resourceful and quick to protect those that I love most. My energy and resilience, if faced with a rampant murderer of sorts, is what I would rely heavily on in the face of terrifying conflict. My irritable stubbornness, quick-thinking, and physical endurance I believe would help me evade whatever trouble I faced.

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

The first thing I would do is fix my car, as he is quite old and will soon be a historic 2010 relic if not updated soon. Beyond the mundane answer of keeping myself, I would send as much of it as I could to my siblings who are finishing their university degrees. Whatever amount remains would go to putting myself into additional entertainment related classes to keep training in what I love, dancing, singing, and acting.

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

If I could choose anyone in the world it would be my best friend, Emily Bauer. She not only has the brains, guts, and natural born instincts to survive any kind of horror thrown her way, but there is no one else in the world I would want by my side while solving mysteries, outrunning a monster, and fighting for my life.
