Question 1
If you could choose to master a musical instrument that you don’t already know how to play, which one would it be and why?

Question 4
What’s your favorite book and why?
A: The best book I’ve read lately is “On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist.” The author, Clarissa Ward, is an incredible storyteller and a truly impressive human. It’s also really illuminating to read about global conflict and foreign policy decisions from the perspective of a war correspondent.
Question 5
What’s your favorite movie or TV show?
A: My favorite movie of all time is the Princess Bride. I recently secured tickets to see Cary Elwes (who played Westley) live in Denver to tell behind-the-scenes stories after a screening of the movie, and I am giddy about it!
