She recalled in the interview that she was usually on the road about 60% of the year.
“Then I get home and I have to put together the story: look at the video that was shot, write the script and edit footage,” she said.
She also dispensed some valuable advice during the sit-down interview.
“Pack light, forget the blow-dryer — who wants to worry about all that stuff?” D’Elia had said. “You’ll be amazed at how liberated you’ll feel!”
