If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to and why?

1999 – to tell my younger self NOT to take that computer course and save myself from agony.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

My favourite childhood memory is more like a feeling – a feeling of togetherness. Hanging out with my Dad as we watch the news, cooking with my Mum, gathering with the extended family where we, eat, argue, laugh and eat some more!

What is your favorite snack?

Savoury: Shrimp Chips or Fish Crackers; Sweet: Pocky

If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?

Read in bed till my kids discover I was fake sleeping. Then go out to lunch with friends/family. After that, do some gardening (window shopping in the garden section of Home Depot counts!) Maybe stop by at Goodwill because it’s on the way home. Then, cook dinner, watch Amazing Race and  call my Dad.

That would be an awesome day!

Are you an owl or a lark; i.e., do you prefer staying up late or waking up early in the morning?

Owl. Hoot-hoot!

If you could go back in time, what year would you travel to and why?

I would travel to the early 16th century of the Aztec Empire before the arrival of the Spanish. I come from a lineage of healers. I would want to listen and learn from the healers of the time to continue to keep the practice alive.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

Making conchas with my father and younger sister a Sunday afternoon after it had rained, and the rays of sun were shining through the gray clouds.

What is your favorite snack?

If I am going on a road trip, my favorite snack are Hot Cheetos. However, if I am making a snack for myself at home, it would have to be apple slices with peanut butter. Fun fact: when I lived on my parents’ apple farm, I would eat upwards of five apples a day.

If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?

I would choose to go to the hiking with my family. It’s a time full of exploration, my parents sharing memories of their childhood, endless laughter, and my mother’s tamales to end the day!

Are you an owl or a lark; i.e., do you prefer staying up late or waking up early in the morning?

I am definitely a lark! My friends always made fun of me in college because once the clock hit 9pm, my energy levels plummeted, and I would have to head to bed.

What is your favorite place to eat on campus?

DL: I have 2 places depending on my mood. Jimmy V’s Sports Café has great value and portion size. My go to item there is the yummy grilled tilapia with steamed veggies and Spanish rice. When I want to splurge a little bit I hit up Blend Eatery. They have a very unique flavor and offering of Filipino/Asian bowls where you can dump a bunch of different ingredients in that all work well together.

If you had one free hour each day, how would you use it?

DL: Pre COVID, it would have been to hit the gym but now I would say to go road biking which I would love to do more of.

If you could trade places with anyone for a day, who would you choose?

DL: That person would be European travel writer and tv personality Rick Steves! I love international travel and he was the one who got me interested in European travel many years ago when I would watch his PBS travel series. I would love to be able to get paid to travel all over Europe and write about it and influence others to go out and explore the world, people and cultures.

Describe one of your favorite work memories.

DL: This one is easy and hard to forget. It would have to be my job interview at Old Union which did not have any AC. This was shortly before we moved to Montag Hall. I interviewed on a very hot day in August and I was baking in my full suit. Judi said it was ok if I wanted to take off my jacket but I did not want to take it off and look unprofessional for the interview. I probably looked unprofessional anyway with sweat dripping down my face LOL

What is one hobby you would love to get into?

DL: I am a big heavy metal/hard rock fan so I would love to be able to play electric guitar. My wife bought me a guitar and amp years ago but I never invested the time and energy to learn it. I ended up selling them.
