3 Fun Facts about yourself:

·         My parents made me a blue M&M for Halloween every year until I was 7.

·         I sleep with my Koala PillowPet every night.

·         I watch more reality tv than is probably healthy.

I am currently senior majoring in Business Administration and Statistics with a track in Finance at Carnegie Mellon University. Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Enid Blyton and J.K Rowling are a few of my favorite authors. I also love watching British TV shows (Sherlock is my favorite!). On campus, I am involved in several activities, including Carnegie Mellon Business Association and Smart Woman Securities.
