Any hidden talents we should know of?

I perform karaoke,  and write poetry and music. Plus I make a pretty mean Italian dinner.

Something we would never know to ask you?

In 10 years I've lived in 10 cities. It's why my family calls me a gypsy.

What do you love most about Indy?

I love its intimacy. Indianapolis is a place where you can get to know people – spend quality time with family and friends. It is a city where you can get involved and make an impact. It’s not hard to find ways to help out, pitch-in and give back. Indianapolis makes it easy to be a good neighbor.
