Favourite thing about your city? The longer you’re there, the smaller it gets. and that’s okay with me — everyone acts as a very close, tight-knit community and looks out for each other. I have never felt alone or unsafe.

Where was your last vacation? I’m in New Orleans now but I was just in Chicago!
Any claims to fame? I’m doing a pop-up with my man and his friends at my bar in a week and half and all the proceeds go to The Cottage House, a non-profit org benefiting domestic violence victims that are women and children. I’m stoked!!!! The pop-up is called the “Side Hustle”
