How and when did you start?

“I got involved in a TV show at my high school. Then I went to Columbia College and studied under the best professors in the biz. At first I wanted to head down the reporter route. But during four internships I found a mentor. This strong beautiful Latina who took charge making magic behind the camera. I wanted be just like her. I still do. So I went the behind-the-scenes route and here I am. My grandmother still wants me to be a reporter. But I just love being warm and toasty wearing a ponytail in the newsroom. I can’t do big hair, suits and high heels everyday.”

Favorite Chicago landmark or museum?

“There are too many to name. When people think landmarks — there are the obvious — The Bean –Wrigley Field etc etc. But I love the Chinese Zodiac statues in Chinatown…the Puerto Rican flags in Humboldt Park…the symbols that highlight Chicago’s diverse communities.”

Name 3 of your favorite musicians and/ bands?

“BT, Marilyn Manson and Ella Fitzgerald”

If you could buy a plane ticket and fly anywhere tomorrow where would you go and why?

“I’ve been dying to go to Japan. I’ve read so many books on the culture and traditions there. You have to love a country that gave birth to icons like Hello Kitty and Totoro. Its the home of bento boxes, harajuku girls and love hotels. When I saw Lost in Translation and I said ‘I have to do this by the time I’m 30′.”

What is your favorite flower?

“Rose is my middle name. So I’d have to say pink roses.”

Let’s say you are going out after work Friday for a drink. What would you order?

“A Champagne Cocktail at Violet Hour.
An Amaretto Stone Sour at Bocce’s. (make it a double)
French Martinis everywhere else!”
