What’s the best part of life after 40?

With the wisdom of experience, I now prioritize what matters most: enjoying the small things with my friends and family. Those moments—a deep conversation, a shared laugh, or quiet time together—are the true measure of a fabulous life. I have the freedom to chase big dreams (like college and the House) while being deeply present for the people I love. It’s a wonderful balance of purpose and joy.

What makes you feel fabulous?

Feeling fabulous after 40 is about being truly connected to my core self. I feel my absolute best when I'm immersed in nature or engaged in a creative pursuit like my Studio Art. These activities aren't just hobbies; they are my recharge and inspiration for everything else—my nonprofit, my studies, and my campaign. Even better is when I can share those moments—mentoring kids in STEAM outdoors or painting alongside my family. That shared joy and creation is what makes life vibrantly fulfilling!

What would you do with $40,000?

This capital would directly fund my Studio Art degree and the development of my STEAM nonprofit's outdoor programs. It would reduce the financial strain of campaigning for the AR House, allowing me to focus on serving my community. Crucially, it provides the stability and breathing room my family needs to support my ambitious schedule. This money isn't just a prize; it’s an investment in my legacy—as a leader, a mother, and an artist.
