What’s the best concert or live performance you’ve ever attended? The best live performance was Barbra Streisand at the Coliseum in San Jose, California in 2006. This was the first and only live concert I’ve attended and cemented my adoration for her.

What TV show are you currently binge-watching? My favorite TV show is “Abbott Elementary.”

What’s your favorite season, and why? Christmas is my favorite season. I am a total Christmas-aholic. The house we purchased in Tukwila had to accommodate my artificial 18-foot tree. I do Christmas really big as it drives so much of my life all year long.
