What makes me stand out is my genuine excitement for Halloween and my ability to make that excitement contagious.

What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
My most memorable Halloween experience wasn’t about having the best costume, it was about becoming the character. That’s what I love most about Halloween..it gives you permission to be bigger, bolder, and a little bit ridiculous.
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I’d bring the one thing every horror movie survivor needs; common sense. I’m not trying to be the hero. I’m trying to be the person still standing when the credits roll. 🎃🔪👻
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
I wouldn’t want to blow it just because I won it. I’d want to look back years from now and feel like that $13,000 genuinely made a difference. And, of course, I’d save a little for Halloween every year. 👻
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
My real-life hero would be my mom. ❤️ She’s the kind of person who can walk into a stressful situation and somehow make everyone feel safe. She’s taught me that being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t scared…it means you show up anyway. So if I’m going to survive a horror movie, I want her beside me.. because I know we’d be laughing, looking out for each other, and making the most terrifying night unforgettable.
