What are you involved with on campus?
I’m a tour guide and a Phonathon caller, I’m on the E-board of Spanish Club, I teach Spanish to kids at Clinton Elementary School, and I went on Alternative Spring Break to the Jersey Shore (shout out to the best ASB group ever!)
If you were a building on campus, which building would you be?
South, because it’s the most fun dorm and I like to have a lot of fun. And because I live #inthe101, aka the tour room, so there’s always a ton of people in our room and I’m a really welcoming person.
Favorite drink at Opus?
Cran-lemonade in warm weather, chai cocoa in cold weather.
Describe yourself in three words:
Optimistic, compassionate, and ambitious.
What song do you have stuck in your head this week?
“A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)” by Fergie, Q-Tip and GoonRock. I’m obsessed with the Great Gatsby Movie soundtrack.
Do you have any quotes to live by?
“A smile is a curved line that sets everything straight.” It was my quote in my high school senior yearbook. Kind of cheesy, but if you know me, it’s perfect since I always have a smile on my face.
What’s your spirit animal?
A swan! I took a spirit animal quiz twice and it told me I can dream-walk and foretell the future through dreams, so that’s pretty sweet.
