Mrs. Kansas International®

Teresa Ortega

1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
At the end of the day, when I arrive at my four year old grandsons school, he drops everything to come and give me a huge hug. Nothing, either good or bad, that happened to me during the day matters anymore; just the love of that little guy for his grandmother. It’s the best!

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
My husband and I are both pilots and belong to a flying club. So, the perfect date night for us is to grab an airplane, take a quick flight up to Kansas City for a nice dinner on the Plaza, a nice walk and overnight at our favorite hotel. We hop in the airplane for the short flight home after breakfast in the morning.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
Relaxation is sacred for me. I have a very hectic schedule raising a four year old, with a full time job that requires significant travel. I absolutely love special time in our theater room with my husband and grandson watching a family movie and eating popcorn. And, yes, I have been known to fall asleep in my chair from time to time!

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
With the demands of my job, I find that most of the time, even when I am not dealing with aircraft owners, I stay pretty smart casual. I prefer slacks to jeans and penny loafers to tennis shoes.
