What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

The most memorable Halloween is coming this year! My youngest daughter will marry her best friend this year. Each year my children's costumes became more and more detailed and creative. You could say I created a monster! Our family begins planning Halloween very early, and we take it very seriously! I've created over 100 custom costumes on Cosplay over the years and thoroughly enjoyed every moment!

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

Horror genre intrigues me. I get bored easily, so I crave the unpredictable. Horror gives me jump scares and plot twists that fulfill my desire for the unknown! Horror also involves a lot of history, which is fascinating to me to tie in the old and new. Special effects and costumes are a huge draw as well!

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

I do a lot of sewing and crafts. I could use an updated heavy duty sewing machine. I'm interested in deep sea diving and would like to get my dark water certificate for my fire department Search and Rescue team. My house could use a little DIY. I'm a Jack of All Trades.

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

My future husband, Eric Burkard, saved me from debilitating depression in 2024. He introduced me to the fire service, where I now proudly serve as an EMR and Fire-Rescue. I'm not an easy person to be with. I think he can handled a horror flick!!
