Most Embarrassing College Moment: Dressing up like cupid (with an extremely large diaper) on Halloween and walking around Boston and to parties.

Where I’ll be in five years: I plan to have my National Certification for Interpreting, in Graduate School, and living in my own apartment. I also hope to have learned another language or taking classes.
My favorite spot in Boston: The Esplanade at the Charles River. It is always nice to just hang out there on the water and just relax.

An interesting fact: I was Homecoming King in High School and the Vice President of my graduating class for two years.
