Learn More About Magna
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Hackensack, NJ and mostly grew up between Harrington Park NJ, Indianapolis, Indiana and Dallas, TX. (We moved a lot….there were other cities in the mix).
What is your favorite dessert?
Ice cream. Don’t ask me to narrow it down to one flavor.
What’s one thing you own that you should really throw out?
My current “cozy” jacket that I only wear in the house. There’s a succession process going on right now.
What did you want to be when you were growing up?
A lot of things … but early on I wanted to be an author who illustrated my own books. Then I wanted to be an actress, and then an attorney.
What’s the most used app on your phone? (Be honest!)
Amazon Music or TikTok — not sure but I use them both daily.
What’s your favorite movie?
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (I cringe at some of it now, like Mickey Rooney’s Japanese character Mr but I can’t help myself…still love it)
