Victoria Chinsee: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A horror movie and true-crime addict
• A barre instructor who has been doing barre workouts for nearly a decade
• Terrified of birds and most other things that fly
• Heavily tattooed, which tends to surprise most people
• Severely allergic and incredibly attractive to mosquitoes – I get giant welts that leave me bruised while others are left untouched
• A former flutist who performed in the opening ceremonies of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia
• A mother to two cats and two dogs – the product of a blended pet family with my partner
• An introspective introvert who observes and listens before speaking, which many mistake for standoffishness or shyness
• An avid snowboarder who rides “goofy”
• A Star Wars fangirl who has been attending San Diego Comic-Con since the mid-’90s
