1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
In our charming town are some of the most breathtaking hiking trails and waterfalls that are sure to enchant any nature lover. As the temperature rises in the warmer months, the town comes alive with activity, offering a vibrant atmosphere for both locals and visitors to enjoy.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
As I glance over to my closet, my eyes rest on two items that are the most precious to me - my grandmother's raincoat and a box of photos. The raincoat was my grandmother's in the 60s The box of photos, on the other hand, is a treasure trove of memories of my loved ones who have left this world. As I leaf through each photograph, I can almost hear their laughter and feel their presence beside me. These two items are not just possessions, but a connection to the past that I hold dear to my heart.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
I spend most of my time in the kitchen because cooking is my favorite hobby. If I had to choose, I would pick homemade biscuits and gravy as my favorite dish.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
I spend it with my family. It's amazing how the simplest things can make the biggest impact. I have a small yet close-knit family, and I cherish every moment spent with them. Whether it's sharing stories, cooking together, or just hanging out, it's always a fun time.

5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
In the past, I had the privilege of providing company and care to individuals who were on hospice. Although it was one of the most challenging jobs I have ever had, it was also one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Witnessing the physical and mental struggles that these individuals went through was an eye-opening experience. Despite all the challenges, I managed to meet some truly wonderful people who taught me valuable life lessons that I will always cherish.
