If you were to describe yourself in 4 words, what would they be?
Awkward, outgoing, awkwardly outgoing.
Do you have any weird hobbies?
I play a weird sport called “Dragonboating.” It’s kind of like paddle boarding, but you’re sitting down and have 20 other people. I also thoroughly enjoy watching superhero movies and TV shows.
Who is your favorite superhero?
I know this is going to be generic, but honestly, Superman.
Top 3 favorite artists?
I don’t have any “favorite” artists since I love pulling top songs from everyone, but if I were to choose, probably Drake, Kanye and Chance.
What are you involved in on campus?
I’m in Greek Life, a Resident Advisor (RA) in Pralle and a tour guide at the Office of Admission.
What’s your favorite part about being an RA?
The most rewarding thing is knowing that you made a positive impact, and I feel as if I can and have done that in Residence Life.
What is your favorite college memory so far?
Definitely being in Skit last year. I’m a hip-hop dancer, but I’m not good enough to be a dance major. I was missing dance a lot so when this event came around, I was asked to choreograph and be the lead role. I got to bond with all of my brothers, Greek Life as a whole, and get up on stage.
What is your ideal date?
Straight up, a nap. Either that, or go to an amusement park.
What are some qualities you look for in a significant other?
I need someone who is easy to talk to because I’m an awkward person. I need someone who is quirky, fun, down for Netflix, and love trying new foods.
So you mentioned Netflix, are you looking for someone more for “Netflix & Chill” or “Hulu & Commitment”?
Definitely “Hulu & Commitment.” I need someone to commit to having Hulu.
But for now, is there a show that you prefer to Netflix & Chill to?
How I Met Your Mother.
Last question: do you have any party tricks?
Writing people up — what parties? I’m an RA!!
