"The most important lesson my father taught me is to be true to myself and never be afraid to pursue my dreams. My dad is my rock, and always knows exactly what to say to make me laugh when working toward my goals gets tough. He's simultaneously the biggest goofball I know and the most supportive person in my life. I would not be the woman I am today if it weren't for his words of wisdom . . . even with the dad jokes and pranks sprinkled in between."
