Who, living or dead, would you like to eat dinner with the most? And why?

Steve Carell. I actually went to his house this past summer because my mom was friends with his wife in high school. She invited us over for a quick visit but someday I’d love to go to their house for dinner and talk to him about his acting career.

Who or what inspires you?

My mom. She’s the strongest person I’ve ever met, and she’s always taught me to take risks and follow my heart. She’s overcome a lot of challenges in her lifetime and inspires me whenever I face a challenge.

What is one thing on your bucket list and will you accomplish it?

I want to visit every state in the U.S. After traveling to four states over three weeks in October, I’m now almost halfway to that goal! Just 29 more to go.

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

When I was studying abroad, I traveled from Spain to Morocco with a group of friends on a ferry! We explored the “blue city” of Chefchaouen and rode camels on a beach along the Alboran Sea. The ferry was a very bumpy ride, but the most unique travel experience I have ever had. I absolutely recommend taking a trip to Morocco and traveling by ferry, unless you get seasick easily (I learned that the hard way)!
