- 1. I am THE BIGGEST Twilight fan. Anyone who knows me knows that loving Twilight is my defining personality trait. I even have 2 tattoos dedicated to Twilight and went on a trip to Oregon and Washington just to see all of the filming locations!!
- 2. I am a mother to a golden retriever named Hazel that weighs 125 pounds. She isn’t overweight or anything– she’s just tall and massive.
- 3. English isn’t my first language! Both my parents are immigrants from Japan so I spent the first 5 to 6 years of my life only speaking Japanese.
- 4. My first ever job was a Verizon commercial that aired in Asia. I remember we had to film different versions of the commercial in a variety of languages because it was gonna air in so many Asian countries.
