Since I was a child, I have had extraordinary experiences with things on the other side. Had physical encounters. I have a gift.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
Halloween has always felt different to me because the paranormal was never just a costume or scary movie. I’ve had unexplained experiences since I was a little girl, including seeing things, hearing things and even physical encounters. I’ve lived in places where things happened that other people witnessed too. So for me, Halloween isn’t about pretending the unexplained exists. I’ve spent my whole life knowing there are things in this world we simply don’t understand.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
Because it takes a LOT to scare me. 😂 I’ve survived real life situations that would make a horror movie look easy, and when things go sideways, I don’t freeze. I get calm, pay attention and figure out what needs to happen next. I’ve dealt with danger, emergencies, violence, fires, death and things I couldn’t explain. I have thick skin, strong instincts and I’m definitely not the girl going into the basement alone because I heard a noise. I’m making it to the credits. 😂
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
Pay some bills, breathe for five minutes, put a little toward my business, and then probably use the rest to disappear somewhere by the ocean where nobody can find me. 😂
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My dad. He’s a Vietnam veteran and genuinely the best man I know. He’s always had my back and has loved me unconditionally my entire life. He’s kind, strong, protective, and just an incredible human. He’s dealing with Agent Orange related health issues, Parkinson’s, and dementia now, which makes me cherish him even more. If I had to survive a horror movie with anyone, it would be him. He’s been my hero my whole life.
