1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
I feel like Lauren Grey is a perfect balance of elegance, depth, and mystery. It sounds like it has intriguing intellect and belongs to someone who doesn’t just show up, but leaves an impact.
2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
Definitely Tennessee’s very own – Dolly Parton and Carl Dean’s wedding! It seemed as though their wedding was the epitome of a low key charm – which reflects her humble beginnings and her focus on what truly mattered: love and loyalty over spectacle.
3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
Working for an international company, my German coworker gifted me a “German Egg Topper” – which is a contraption that you place on top of a boiled egg, pull the weight up, release – and pop! – the shell cracks neatly for easy and precise peeling. Over-engineering in the best possible way.
4.What is the most random fact you know?
Being an engineer, I have a plethora of random facts! I think a fascinating one to me is that the Eiffel Tower grows taller in the summer up to 6 inches. This is due to iron thermal expansion. It also tilts slightly due to the sun hitting one side, causing that side to expand more.
5.What is the one thing you’ll never do again?
I will never again dim my passion to make someone else comfortable in a room I’ve earned the right to be in. This is about me being my most authentic self – where I have learned that my presence and voice do not need softening. I show up fully and unapologetically in everything I do. Grace with a backbone never goes out of style!
