■ Family: Husband Marc Mezvinsky, daughter Charlotte, sons Aiden and Jasper

■ White House code name: Energy

■ My personal motto I tell my children: “Bravery and kindness are the most important character traits.” Another one I adhere to is “You’re never too young or too old to make a difference.”

■ Something I’ve done that took me farthest outside of my comfort zone: Running the New York City Marathon for the first time in 2021.

■ The one thing I know to be true about all people is: We all deserve fundamenta­l human rights.

■ The hardest piece of advice or constructi­ve criticism I’ve ever had to hear: While growing up, my mom always told me, “Take serious criticism from serious people seriously. Take unserious criticism from unserious people unseriousl­y.” It’s as true today as it was then, and I think it’s something that all of us need to internaliz­e.

■ The secret to my happiness in life is: My kids and being the best mom I can be, plus lots of runs, date nights with my husband, time with my friends and work I find meaningful.

■ My guilty pleasure is: A vodka martini.

■ One hidden talent not many people know about me is: I am a pretty good baker! We do a lot of baking in our home, and it is a fun family activity. Though if you asked my kids, they would say my talent is removing stains from carpets, walls, clothes and more.

■ My favorite quote or motivation­al saying is: My grandmothe­r’s mantra that life’s not about what happens to you, it’s about what you do with what happens to you.

■ The essence of being is: To be kind. Be brave. Love and be loved. And, do all you can, in all the ways you can and in all the places you can, to make a positive difference in the world.

■ The word that best describes me: Mom.
