Most embarrassing moment: When I gave a speech at graduation, I was walking to the podium in front of all my family and friends, and I tripped on my robe. Not my finest moment.
What’s something most people don’t know about you?
My dog is my best friend.
What’s your ideal date?
“That’s a tough one…I’d have to say April 25th because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.”
Best pick-up line: Are you a DNA helicase? Because you unzip my genes.
Biggest turn-on: I love being able to carry out a conversation with someone who is genuine and sincere.
What’s your favorite place on campus?
Tempel Green because it’s a calming spot on campus that always has something interesting going on.
We hear you spent the summer in New London, can you tell us more about that?
I stayed here on campus and worked in the chemistry department in Stan’s lab. We researched porous manganese oxide nanospheres. It was a great summer!
What’s your spirit animal? Porcupine because although the animal has protective quills, it has a soft stomach. I am a person who shows my softer side once you know me.
How does it feel to be Campus Cutie? I’m so surprised and honored!
