What\u2019s the best part about social media and the worst? \u201c<\/strong>The best part is that you can become acquainted with people easier; there is none of that awkward stage of first meeting someone, and better networking with people.

What do you admire about Gen Z? What do you dislike about Gen Z? <\/strong>\u201cI admire that Gen Z is very tolerant to today’s issues and more caring compared to other generations.

If you could trade places with the president of the United States for one day what would you do as president. <\/strong>\u201cI would try to do something with some type of gun legislation and I\u2019ll put Louisville on the map nationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment? <\/strong>\u201cI wrote an op-ed in the Louisville newspaper, The Courier Journal, and it kind of turned some heads about books censorship.

What is your biggest regret? <\/strong>\u201cMy biggest regret is losing touch with people and not always showing appreciation well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
