What’s your most guilty pleasure?
American Idol – but I don’t feel as guilty if I go to my yoga class first…

What’s the one thing about you no-one would ever guess?
I was a Spanish major in college. I studied Spanish for 10 years and even studied abroad in Venezuela for a semester. Unfortunately, I don’t use it very often so it’s fading quickly.
