What’s your favorite restaurant?: I have two! Pepe's in Midlothian, and Xtra’s Cafe in Carytown.

What would you tell somebody who has never been to Richmond before?: Richmond has many neighborhoods to explore. We have history. We have art...everywhere! And we are just a few hours road trip to the beach, mountains, and DC. It's a great place to be.

What's your favorite store?: I love Mongrel in Carytown. There are so many crazy, fun things to see in there. I get the most unique cards from them for all occasions.

How do you spend your free time?: I like to wander around the VMFA. Somehow I always end up in the Egyptian exhibit. There is so much there you can go every weekend and just pick an area to explore and learn about.
