Where do you get your great sense of style? Miami, my hometown.

And what do you do for a living? I’m a clinical nutritionist at the Charles George VA Medical Center. It’s my patriotic duty to take sausage gravy and biscuits away from North Carolina vets—much to their chagrin.

You don’t look like a nutritionist. You look like a movie star. I love the European actresses, like Catherine Deneuve. She’s classically beautiful. My family is from Europe. I go frequently.

Are you ready for spring? Yes. I just moved into a new house in Oakley, which I love. This will be my first four seasons in the new house.
