What made you want to get involved with Her Campus?

I wrote for my high school newspaper and it wasn’t as creative as I would have liked, so I thought Her Campus would be a different, better outlet for my writing. I also love that it targets an audience I can relate to best.

What else are you involved in on campus?

I work at the Student Organization Center and I’m a member of Alpha Lambda Delta.

Favorite dessert of all time: Banana Cream King Cake at Domenica in downtown New Orleans.

Favorite show on Netflix: The Office.

The song you’ll never get sick of: Any Billy Joel song.

First concert: Britney Spears. It was first grade and I forced my mom to let me wear a belly shirt.

Favorite musical: Wicked.

Hollywood Girl Crush: Reese Witherspoon.

Dog person or cat person? Definitely dogs.

Dark chocolate or white chocolate? Dark chocolate!

Go-to outfit for class: Nikes shorts and a tee shirt, keeping it simple.

Best thing about Tulane: The weather!

Hobbies: Running, reading, perusing Buzzfeed, and intramural soccer.

Ideal dream job: Being the host of The Bachelor. Nothing like getting to travel all around the world and witness all the hilarious drama!

What would you do if you won the lottery? I would eat my way through the entire world. I’m a huge foodie.

Random fun fact: I was the number one high school competitive badminton player on Long Island in 2012.
