What is your biggest pet peeve?

The loud crunching when people eat stuff like chips, popcorn or sometimes candy Drives me crazy – its actually called “Misophonia”

What is your theme song?

“Simple Song” by The Shins – it’s a quirky love song that definitely speaks to my hopeless romantic side. As a little bit of trivia, it was also the song that was playing when the mother was first revealed in How I Met Your Mother.

List three things on your bucket list.

• Attend the World Cup from beginning to end – hoping that 2026 will be my year!
• I want to go to Poland and Germany – I am Polish and German, and am yet to experience my heritage.
• One summer I want to rent a huge RV and show my kids around the US.

What is your biggest fear?

I fear the dentist – I know that’s stereotypical, but I avoid it at all costs and am currently in search of a sedation dentist so I can’t remember a thing.

What is your drink of choice?

I love an Old Fashioned – it is the one drink that I can enjoy any time, any weather, any mood.
