What do you like most about the area? The changing of the seasons. Summer is my favorite season. I can go swimming with my family. I also love to see the flowers bloom in the spring and the leaves change in the fall. The snow is even fun when you can take off from work to play in it.

Favorite food: Anything chocolate.

Favorite TV show: It's a toss-up between "CSI" and "ER."

Person you most admire: My great-grandma, Ruby Conrad. She is the most caring, loving, spiritual person I know. I hope I grow up to be a great-grandma just like her.

Pet peeve: People who smack when they eat or chew gum.
