Fun Facts

Favorite food

My favorite food – hands down – is my mom’s chicken parmesan, rigatoni pasta with marinara sauce, green sweet peas, and all the grated parmesan my plate can hold.

Hidden talent

My hidden talent is I have an unusually good memory. Some say it’s a photographic memory. For example, I can memorize a deck of cards!
