What do you think you'll bring to the game? "In my career, I've been a business negotiator. My last role, until I had to stop work during the pandemic, was as an International Vice President for a big global company. So, I'm used to big stakes, big ticket negotiations in very challenging environments with cultural variations. I think that will serve me well.

"Most importantly, my son, Dan, who died two years ago, was severely disabled with autism and other disabilities, and was nonverbal. Dan died at the age of 41. So, I spent 41 years understanding nonverbal hints and cues from Dan. I think those three things and my knitting hopefully, will take me to the final."
