We’re super excited to have a HC team member as a cutie! From casual conversations to the input she gives for Her Campus UNF, this cutie keeps us on our toes, and full of life.
Name: Techeira Francis
Age: 20
Major: Criminal Justice
Year: Junior
Relationship Status: Single
Hometown: The Virgin Islands, St. Thomas
HC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
TF: Well in 10 years I see myself working for Homeland Security either as a Foreign Service Agent or a Secret Service Agent.
HC: Name three things that excite you.
TF: Oh!
- Men with beards and tattoos. Especially those that have both!
- Books written about crime (fiction and nonfiction)
- A new episode of Scandal!
HC: Tell me something about you that most people don’t know.
TF: I am not a picky person. I love everything. No need to make choices on things, that’s how you miss out. Just go with the flow and appreciate what comes your way!
HC: What song are you secretly obsessed with, but embarrassed to sing out loud?
TF: I don’t know if I am embarrassed to sing it but I don’t play around anyone only because it is in french. A group called Pentatonix, which gives me so much life with every note they sing, covered a song by a French artist, Somae, called Papaoutai and it’s amazing! I know all the words, which are in french.
HC: What is something that you take the most pride in?
TF: Materialistically…SHOES! Characteristically, how humble I am. I don’t like bragging or giving myself attention. Who I am and what I have is all that I could ever ask for.
HC: What’s the last book you really loved?
TF: I don’t really have just one book I really love. I love every book I read. But, there is one book I always go back to, ‘The Giver” by Lois Lowry. I guess in a way that book helps me to understand humanity, communication and wisdom in different ways. It opens up my mind’s eye! I have read it a total of 17 times since I first read it in the fifth grade. It is my life book.
HC: What’s one thing you’d be disappointed to never have experienced?
TF: Travelling the world. I want to at least see one city in every country and nation before I die.
HC: What is the scariest thing you have ever done?
TF: Leave land. I have an unnatural fear of heights. It’s a complicated ordeal. I can ride roller coasters, fly on airplanes and all that, BUT if I have to physically climb a ladder, a lighthouse, a tall building, a rooftop, or whatever, then expect complete silence and oceans of tears running down my face. The fear is so real.
HC: What impact do you want to leave on the world?
TF: I want to leave my blueprint on every female’s character. I want them to know that their body doesn’t have to be used a tool to prove they can do a job that a man can also do. I need them to understand that the skin,body,mind and soul that is theirs is THE most gorgeous thing ever and it kills!
HC: How do you like being involved with Her Campus?!
TF: I absolutely LOVE being involved with Her Campus! I am not a writer by any means, but this website has broadened my horizon completely. I love expressing who I am on a website whose audience is women who understand where I am coming from and have experiences similar to mine.
