3 Fun Facts about yourself:

1) I’m a total choir dork. I’ve sung classical music in over 15 languages and been to like 6 national choir conventions.

2) My mom and I have matching tattoos on our wrists. It signifies how we give each other strength and are always each other’s motivation even when we are apart.

3) I’m obsessed with the little mermaid to the point where I have vinyl records of the soundtrack, had little mermaid themed birthday decorations for my 17th birthday, been Ariel for Halloween four times, and named my car Ariel. Anything involving mermaids just instantly makes me happy and turns me into a child 

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.
