Questions:
Q: What inspired you or led you to your current career?
A: I was studying and playing music. I went to college and graduate school for music, but I asked myself if this is something I really wanted to do? I was in my Master’s degree and was going to get a Doctorate degree, but I didn’t have the passion for it, so I was trying to figure out what I could do next. Someone recommend that I should look into this career. I checked it out, and fell in love with it all, and I got really good results in terms of the treatments.
Q: What is your favorite restaurant in Ramsey, and what do you love there?
A: We used to go to Varka a lot, and right now our go to is Cafe Panache and sometimes Giovanna’s Cafe. Bici restaurant is great too!
Q: How long have you lived or worked in Ramsey?
A: I’ve worked here for 10 years! I started coming to Ramsey every Saturday to help my mentor, who’s my partner in Chinese Medicine now, and now I’m here several days a week.
Q: Who is the most interesting person you’ve met here in Ramsey?
A: We have so many patients, it’s hard to pick just one. But I would say, Sandy Cruz, she’s the owner of Natural Tail Treats. She’s really nice and her background is pretty interesting!
Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? And why?
A: I would like to go to New Zealand because I hear that it’s amazing, they have everything there, just like the West Coast in America.
Q: What is your favorite movie OR what is the first movie you remember seeing in a theater?
A: I can’t remember the first movie that I saw in the theater, but my favorite movie is, Life is Beautiful.
Q: What advice would you give a crowd of people?
A: Don’t take things so seriously. Always keep moving forward.
Q: What is something on your bucket list?
A: I don’t have a bucket list.
Q: What is your favorite music/ 3 bands you would like to see (dead or alive)?
A: I would like to see The Eagles.
Q: Choosing anyone and a non-relative with whom would you love to have lunch? Why and where would you have lunch?
A: I would like to have lunch with the creator or god of Chinese medicine, Hatton! He actually died thousands of years ago, but he is the one person I would want to sit and talk to and ask what’s really out there, and talk about the different methods. He’s Chinese, so we’ll go somewhere that is totally opposite of a Chinese restaurant, so maybe like an American burger place.
Q: What is your favorite thing or something unique about Ramsey?
A: I don’t get out too much, I see patients here and then I prefer to go back into the city, where I live.
Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years?
A: I think, I will still be doing the same thing, healing and helping people!
Q: (Even for friends or family), what is something interesting that most people don’t know about you?
A: I think, the fact that I’m not that nice. Yes, I’m nice with people but not outgoing with strangers, though I am not rude! It’s just that I don’t smile, I am not emotional.
Q: What 3 words or phrases come to mind when you think of the word HOME?
A: Comfort, Love and Balance.
Q: If you had a full time staff member that was fully paid for, who would you choose? Chef, Housekeeper, Driver, Coach, Physical Fitness Trainer, or Nanny?
A: I wish I could have a Chef!
Q: If you were cast into a major motion picture and had your choice of anyone to be your co-star, who would you choose?
A: It should be some hot guy, like Will Smith! He’s so cool and he’s my favorite.
