Q & A 

What is your favorite thing about being in AOII? The other women! AOII is so diverse and is full of amazing, intelligent women who are passionate about AOII and everything else they’re involved in. AOII is home to 80 of the sweetest souls I’ve ever met. 

Which of the places that you’ve traveled is your favorite? Munich, Germany. Bavaria is a winter wonderland at Christmas-time. 

What would you describe as your perfect meal? Big, greasy, and largely potato-based. I’m talking mashed potatoes, disco fries (french fries with mozzarella and brown gravy), and fried chicken. 

If you had unlimited knowledge and supplies, what would you invent? A pocket-sized teleportation device. Driving is boring and takes too much time.
