9. I am entering the wrestling arena and while the crowd is calling out my wrestling name: “Foxxy Pandora!”, I can hear the song: “Girl on Fire” by Alicia Keys playing!

10. At the most horrible job I ever had I: Was able to remain positive and kept my ethics and dignity. I believe that in any circumstance, it is important to rise above the fray, keep focused on bigger goals, and learn from each experience, good or bad.

11. The language I would most like to speak is: Latin, since it has been said that 60 percent of English has Latin roots. And, if I spoke Latin, it would be much easier for me to pretend to speak French.

12. The biggest challenge in my industry at the moment is:
Mentoring the new generation. We really have an opportunity with a new generation joining the security industry, and I believe our future lies with us to mentor and share our experience so that they can make what may seem impossible today, possible in the future.
