What activities or clubs are you involved in at UCLA?  Delta Delta Delta Sorority, Daily Bruin Video Department, Chorale, Model United Nations, Unicamp 
 
What is your favorite memory from UCLA? Randomly getting free tickets into the Bridesmaids premier and seeing some of my favorite celebrities there! Including meeting Jane Lynch! 
 
What did you do this summer? I spent the first half of the summer finishing up my study abroad program in New Zealand and visited Sydney, Australia for a few days on my way back. The second half of my summer was super lazy: I slept (a lot), hung out with friends, and finally started actually going to the gym! 
 
What did you do abroad and what was your favorite memory from abroad? I did a ton of backpacking, including my first four day hike! However, my favorite memory was swimming with a pod of 150 common dolphins in the wild. Seeing 150 dolphins racing underneath me was absolutely incredible. 
 
What do you look for in a guy? Someone open minded who makes me feel confident, loved and respected. Also nice muscles.
 
 Greatest role model? Ellen DeGeneres. She deals with life not with judgment and negativity but with laughter, joy and of course dance. 
 
What is your favorite restaurant in Westwood or the surrounding area? Mr. Noodle! (Have the Pad See Ew and the Fried Banana crepes for Desert!) 
 
What is your favorite store? I’m a big fan of online shopping! Right now my favorite is Tobi. 
 
Celebrity crush? I am kind of obsessed with Chris Hemsworth; he is physically the perfect man.
