Awkward Penn story:

My first Penny Loafers audition.  I literally could not stop shaking. My legs were quivering uncontrollably, and I didn’t know what to do with my hands, like Ricky Bobby style. I assumed everyone noticed but I guess it wasn’t that bad!

 

You in three words. Go!

Ginger. Genuine. Goofy.

 

What would your Patronus be?

Emperor Penguin.

 

What is your favorite song to jam to?

Sunday Candy by Chance the Rapper.

 

Celebrity Crush: 

Emma Watson in Sorcerer’s Stone. Wait is that creepy? No, deathly hallows part II. Definitely the last one. 

 

Ideal first date:

Dinner with live music. Piano player or jazz singer. Then we’d go to an NHL game (go Caps!), and finish up the night snuggling while watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

 

What do you look for in a girl?

Someone who’s not afraid to be weird, but who knows when she’s being weird.

 

Any fun or weird talents?

I can freestyle rap a little bit.  Oh and I can cook a little bit. 

 

What is something on your Penn bucket list?

Go to every place in Philly that has been on Diners Drive Ins and Dives.
