        Q: You just got back from spending some time in Brazil. What kept you busy while you were down there?

        A: I was externing at my dad's museum, Inhotim. [Bernardo Paz is founder of the contemporary art museum.]

        Q: What was it like working there?

        A: I learned a ton about how the museum works, and planned events along with the communications team. I loved it.

        Q: What was it like growing up in such an artful home?

        A: I have a specific taste in art now, which I probably wouldn't have if I weren't raised the way I was. I was able to meet a lot of famous artists and intellectuals being in my position, which I'm extremely grateful for.

        Q: What brought you back to Minneapolis?

        A: I had a semester left of school still; I graduate in May. I also love the community here. It reminds me a lot of a kind of European culture I've experienced while living abroad. I definitely wouldn't compare it to any other Midwestern city.

        Q: On a given Friday night, at what three locations would you most likely be spotted?

        A: Jetset, my house entertaining, Marvel Bar.
