Earliest childhood memory? "Watching my mom make granola and patiently waiting as it cooled on top of the refrigerator. I am using the word patiently very loosely." All-time favorite album? "Otis Redding's greatest hits. Also, the Shins' Chutes Too Narrow because it reminds me of my frst apartment, living alone, being brokenhearted but strangely happy about my new independence." When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up? "A writer. I love to read, and even as a kid my library card got serious use. I would write short stories in the backseat of the car. It was one of the only quiet places I could fnd. I would write remarkably bad and clichéd tales of pre-teen angst." The weirdest place somebody has recognized you in public? "I get recognized in thrift stores pretty often. I am usually trying a dress on over my clothes and am caught mid-act." www.koerbersfnejewelry.com Besides your current one, what's the best job you've ever had? "I worked at Highland Coffee for the better part of a decade. I love the community of coffeehouses. Plus, in my early 20s it was always a great way to meet cute guys!" Your drink? "Greyhound (vodka and grapefruit juice)." Favorite possession? "My great-grandmother's china." All-time favorite Louisville athlete? "Darrell Griffth. Growing up with uncles who were U of L fans, it was impossible not to know about Dr. Dunkenstein!" All-time favorite Louisville restaurant? "Queen of Sheba. I love Ethiopian food. Also, Mayan Cafe because the lima beans are magical." 24 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 12.13
