Jay was recommended by her friend Rachel: "I have this friend, Jay. She is hands-down an amazing catch… I honestly can’t believe she's single. She's a strong, beautiful, independent woman, but is also extremely thoughtful and loving. Jay is incredibly smart and hard-working, and still makes time to have fun and hang out with her friends… and do six-hour workout challenges and Spartan races! She knows how to cheer everyone up and immediately lightens the mood when she enters a room. And she's the type of person who is suddenly friends with everyone at the bar when I leave her alone for five minutes. Most importantly, she is direct, honest and loyal."
Here's Jay, in her own words:
What's at the top of your LA bucket list? To take a hot air balloon ride or enjoy a NASCAR racing experience.
What LA stereotype do you live up to? I'm pretty, fit, and pampered. The reality is that I'm confident, I work hard to stay in shape and I enjoy moments to pamper myself for the hours I put in at work.
What's your favorite bar in LA? Pick any at the Roosevelt hotel. They're all so cool.
What fictional LA character would you most like to spend the day with? Hmm, maybe Kyle Rayner (aka Green Lantern) or Jubilee! (Yes, I referenced comic book characters.)
Dive bar, cocktail bar or juice bar? Well, I juice at home, so I'd say cocktail bar or wine bar. There's such a variety of personalities that frequent those places, so you'll never lack for an interesting conversation.
What's your ideal first date spot? A romantic dinner somewhere away from the everyday LA crowd. Our seating will have a view of the city and maybe live music. We'll enjoy a thought-provoking conversation over a delicious meal and drinks.
