Tell us a little bit about what you do on campus: I am very involved in Greek Life–I have had two positions on SigEp’s eboard since joining freshman year (VP of Communications and VP of Programming), was Director of InterGreek Council PR and Marketing for all of 2013, and I was also a member of the Greek Judicial Board. I have been a member my jazz a cappella group, Uptown Vocal, since freshman year and wrapping up my time at Columbia I have been volunteering on Columbia College Senior Fund’s campus committee.

One thing you don’t understand about the opposite sex: Why girls always have to claim “nothing” is wrong approximately 5 times before telling you what is actually wrong
Favorite thing about Columbia: Being surrounded by outgoing people who aren’t ashamed of being intellectually curious
Fun fact about yourself: I’m actually a scientific candy experiment that went a wry back in the 90s in Willy Wonka’s shop before they faced foreclosure. In short, what I’m trying to let you know is that I am made out of chocolate.
If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be, and why? Jacobs pickles on the UWS because they have my favorite meal, and I’m starving at the moment.
