WHAT IS SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU?
I’m a total homebody. I present as a major extrovert because the nature of my work is very social (entertaining and events), but I actually love solitude. I find the most joy reading a great book in a quiet spot, wrapped in my fuzzy robe.
WHO HAS MADE THE GREATEST IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE?
My grandmother, with whom I spent a lot of time growing up. My love for entertaining comes from her, as does my faith. She was a fabulous cook and florist and always set a beautiful table. She showed her love for others through hostessing. One of my favorite memories is sitting on a stool in her kitchen while she sang along to gospel music while preparing a delicious meal for our family.
WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF BEAUTY?
Pretty is as pretty does, so for me, the most important thing is the way you give back to your community and treat others. I also think there’s beauty in the legacy you leave with your kids. Are you raising them to be good, kind members of society? That’s what I focus on most. That said, I’m also human and I like to look nice, so a less important part of “beauty,” but one that I of course think about, is how I present myself to the world. I’ll say this: Dr. Unger is one of Nashville’s best plastic surgeons, and I jealously guard my spot on his patient roster. There’s nothing wrong with taking care of your inside and your outside!
