How do you feel about being nominated for Campus Cutie?
Pleasantly surprised

If you could have lunch with anyone, who would it be?
Simone de Beauvoir, a French existentialist thinker.

What is something that people are surprised to know about you?
I have four sisters.

Fun fact?
If you drilled a hole through the center of the earth, and jumped into it, it would take approximately 42 minutes to reach the other side, and as you arrived you would gradually decelerate to a standstill.

Celebrity crush?
Adriana Lima.

Favorite TV show?
The Office (U.K. version)

Every moment of Linner.

Ike’s decides to name a sandwich after you. What’s it called, what’s in it?

Pet peeve?
People who arrive early to lecture and then sit on the very end of the row.

Favorite off-campus location?
Illusions, of course.

Tried and true pickup line?
I don’t think I have a single line, per se, but in terms of a general methodology, I use humour a great deal, especially in the form of harmless jokes directed at the girl I’m talking to. And I try to listen attentively; I think people under appreciate how much that can benefit you.

What’s on your bucket list before leaving the Farm?
Horseback riding.

Most embarrassing moment?
Secret Snowflake, Freshman Year. Let’s not go into details.
