Occupation: I am a small business owner. I own Basil Rose Boutique, which opened in September. I had a successful fitness studio in Florida, where my family and I lived before moving here. I think everyone assumed I would open another here, but after being in town and hearing from some of my new friends how we didn't have a place to shop besides the mall, I thought I'd open a boutique. People always told me that I was really good with fashion and my husband is on television, so I've been styling him for the past six years, so it was a good fit.

I have three young children. Cash is 9, Lennyn is 7, and my wild-child, Lola, is 3. My husband Matt and I have been together for over ten years. He is a WWE announcer for

Family:Raw and SmackDown. He was a wrestler before retiring from injuries and has been a commentator for three years now.

Pets: We have two dogs. Our rescue, Bull, is a bull terrier and Dharma is a Shiba Inu who looks like a baby fox.

If you could spend the day with one person, who would you choose and why? Elon Musk. He's so smart and has been so successful in his life. I think he would be really interesting to talk to because he's so business minded.

Being a mom. There are lots of things I am proud of - like the store and having graduated with a master's degree with a 4.0 GPA - but being a mom allows me to wake up every morning feeling proud of my kids. I love them.
