P: To unwind and relax, I typically like to…..
R: “read while relaxing in the hammock in my backyard”
P: Favorite Wenatchee restaurant:
R: “Applebees! I am addicted to their Crispy Orange Chicken Bowls!”
P: What is the best present you’ve ever given someone else?
R: “I don’t remember any specific present but I have a knack for picking out funny cards that have an inside joke between me and that person.”

P: You are obviously passionate about music.
What keeps you inspired?
R: “My music teachers keep me inspired. I aspire to the unique ways they have of using music in their lives. I’ve always thought that playing music is a privilege because everyone responds to it in their own way and having the ability to effect people by sharing it is inspiring.”
P: This week I will…
R: “teach a cello lesson, attend a piano masterclass, swim at the WRAC pool with my friends, watch Grease at the drive in, go to a Seattle Mariners game, and go to Silverwood with my youth group. It’s an unusually busy week for summer!”
P: Favorite famous quote?
R: “How to Fly: Hurl yourself at the ground and miss. This is from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It reminds me that sometimes you just have to go for it!”

P: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
R: “I would love to go to Ireland. It looks like one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and picking up an Irish accent would be a great souvenir!”
P: What’s the best advice you’ve taken lately?
R: “I’ve been advised to relax. I need to be reminded of that sometimes.”
P: When I was a little kid, I always…
R: “lined up my stuffed animals in rows and read them books, because I thought I was their teacher. (My mom and dad are both teachers!)”
P: The best thing about me is…..
R: “my wit and my ‘Caribou eyes’. My Mom says I have my Dad’s sense of humor, and my friend had a dream of a large Caribou with blue eyes chasing after her. Some how she was reminded of me and the nickname stuck.”
