What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
I was feeling spontaneous on a fall day, and I jumped out of a canoe into the Connecticut River with all my clothes on. The water was freezing cold!

Please list any Honors/Awards you have received in the past 2 years.

What is the most interesting or surprising thing about you, or that has happened to you?
People are often surprised by my extreme flexibility. You should hear the gasps when I put my legs over my head. I've thought about auditioning for Cirque de Soleil!
Are you the oldest, youngest or a middle child and what does that mean to you?
I am the oldest, which means being a role model and setting a good example for my younger sister, Sophie. I often feel protective of my sister and her friends, so maybe I have a mothering complex as a result of being the oldest.
Name one person, family, friend, celebrity, who has had the most influence on your life.
Susan Almasi. Susie is my godmother and the most amazing person. She suffered an illness that left her with very low chances of survival and has remained strong throughout. She has a mother with Alzheimers, a young son who is autistic and a very high-profile career as an operatic coach. I really don’t know how she stays so strong. But she inspires me, she’s always been there for me and I love her very much.
