Amy shared her answers to mStoner’s version of the Proust questionnaire.
Favorite book: Impossible to choose just one! My favorite I’ve read this year is “The Great Believers” by Rebecca Makkai.
Favorite TV show: Also hard to choose just one, and I watch entirely too much TV, but I’ll say “The West Wing” is probably my all-time favorite.
Favorite place you’ve visited: Seville, Spain. I studied abroad there in college and it has to be one of the most beautiful, vibrant cities in the world.
Funniest tweet/article/social post you ever read: I sobbed laughing the first time I saw Fritz, the golden retriever who can’t catch food. I love him so much.
Greatest achievement to date: There are a handful of individual professional and personal moments that come to mind, but overall I think my greatest achievements are the collections of friendships I’ve made and sustained. As an extroverted only child, I’ve always treated friends like extended family, and I’m really proud of the group of people — from childhood, high school, college, and beyond — I have in my life, and the way we support and show up for each other.
Your superhero: Michelle Obama!
Your nemesis: Uneven sidewalks; I am quite clumsy.
Your motto: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Thanks, Ferris!
Your greatest life lesson: 1) Vulnerability is often a sign of strength, not weakness! 2) Low-fat ice cream isn’t worth it.
Welcome, Amy!
