1.) If your apartment was on fire what 2 things would you want to grab so they wouldn't burn?
-I think most of you know I am a photography girl, I love photos…most of you have a photo hanging in my apartment. I would try to get as many pictures out of my apartment as I possibly could.
-My cards/letters/postcards. I have amazing friends and family who send me mail all the time, I love them.
2.) Most embarrassing moment
-I do not get embarrassed easily but I think if I was going to pick a specific event it would have to be from college. My roommate (and phenomenal friend) was working at Albertsons and I stopped by to say hi. I had an “Ashley Moment” while chatting in an aisle and I started dancing randomly, when all of the sudden Janet started laughing. A UofA football player was behind me laughing at my dance….so amazing.
3.) If you could be a superhero, who would you want to be and why?
- The sad thing about my past relationship is I know a ridiculous amount about comic books and superheroes.... therefore I know without a doubt I would want to be Emma Frost (bad girl gone good X-Men character)
“Emma Frost can read minds and project her thoughts into the minds of others, project force bolts which have no physical effects but which can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness, and can also induce mental pain merely by touching the brow of her victim. Emma can now transform her skin and hair into a diamond-hard form at will. In this form, Emma is nigh indestructible except for one small flaw that, if exploited, can cause her to shatter. “
4.) What are you truly passionate about?
-Education….. I am hoping to get my Masters sometime before I am thirty.
-Women’s rights….sex trafficking, mutilation, women’s rights to choose, education of girls, and making women in needy countries more sustainable
-Darfur….the first time in US history that genocide has been labeled genocide and it is still happening. This ties back to women’s right because the women in the displacement camps get rapped while trying to get firewood.
-Music….I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t listen to my music. I love hearing new music and old music. I love that many of the bands I follow have non-profits and are socially aware.
-My friends….I don’t know what I would do without my friends. The ones that have stayed with me and still love me..well I would do just about anything for them.
-Stars….amidst my constantly changing world…stars have always been there. They shine bright and remind me of people I have lost, brighter times, and give me hope.

16.) A moment in your life that defined who you are today, or helped shape who you are today
-I would have to say there are two times.

-Moving to Denver—I left my home of 17 years … Moving to Denver with no friend and no job made me very self reliant and self aware.
17.) If you could have one job in the world w/o considering education or salary, what would it be?

21.) What’s your favorite quote?
-I don’t have just one, recently I have loved Marilyn Monroe (smart chick)- but here are some
-"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." Chris McCandles
-"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." Marilyn Monroe
-“Be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi
-“"I always tell the girls, never take it seriously. If you never take it seriously, you never get hurt. If you never get hurt, you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, you just go to the record store and visit your friends. "Penny Lane
-"A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left." Marilyn Monroe
-"She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And that’s important—you
know “Marilyn Monroe
-I need a miracle every day “ Grateful Dead
