Kaitlin Mahar is a member of the class of 2016 at the University of New Haven in pursuit of a B.S. in Communication with minor in Theater, and she hopes to have a career as an actress. While she doesn't particularly like piña coladas or getting caught in the rain, she's rather fond of Mountain Dew and 90° weather with plenty of sun and humidity.
