1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
Georgetown, TX, charms anyone who visits with its small town feel, historic downtown square, vibrant art scene and lush green nature trails and swimming holes. Foodies delight in the local dining scene, from classic BBQ to trendy cafes. With friendly locals and a relaxed atmosphere plus its close proximity to Austin, there is no surprise why Georgetown TX has been America's fastest growing city 3 years in a row.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
The two most important items in my closet are my cherished cowboy boots and my vision board. My go-to boots reflect my style and personality, while my vision board keeps me focused on my affirmations and life goals daily. These items symbolize both my outward expression and inner motivation, shaping my identity and aspirations.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
My love for cooking Shakshuka is deeply rooted in my connection with Israeli culture, which I've fostered with my direct relationships with Israelis and my trips to Israel. What I enjoy about Shakshuka is not just its rich flavors and vibrant spices but also how incredibly easy it is to make. Shakshuka isn’t just a dish, it's a delicious journey that reflects my passion for Israeli cuisine.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
If I had an extra hour each day, I would dedicate it to practicing yoga without fail. For me, yoga is a crucial part of my routine as it brings relaxation to my body and resets my nervous system, providing a much-needed sense of balance. Making this commitment to yoga daily would ensure that I prioritize my physical and mental well-being, allowing me to feel rejuvenated and centered every single day.

5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
The dirtiest job I've ever had to do was cleaning the grease traps at Buffalo Wild Wings after my shifts as a waitress back when I was 19 years old. This experience taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. Working as a server not only taught me how to serve others but also instilled in me a strong work ethic and attention to detail
