Describe yourself in four words: Genuine, funny, caring, and loyal.
What is your dream job? Whatever it becomes, I want to help people. If I do do something with PoliSci (law), I don’t want to be a “boring lawyer.” I want to give back to the community.
Favorite movie? The Warriors … But I could definitely go for a romantic movie, though, like Sleepless in Seattle. I am a big movie critic and always use Rotten Tomatoes before I go to see a movie. I’m not gonna waste my time seeing a crappy movie.
Favorite place to eat? Banzai Bowls in Newport Beach. I used to go there after practice for rowing with my friends at Orange Coast College.
Favorite campus hangout spot: Kerckhoff Coffee House — a good place to study and kick back.
What qualities would your dream girl have? She’s gotta be nice and have the same sense of humor as me so we can connect during conversations. Caring girls are attractive to me. She has to have a good heart and be smart. Brown hair and green eyes would be ideal but if any girl fits the bill, then looks don’t matter as much.
What do you like to do in your spare time? Kick back and hang out with friends. I like to go to the Bruin Theater and catch a movie if I can.
Favorite UCLA memory: Watching the Bruins dominate the Trojans in football this year. We had a tailgate with my rowing team beforehand and it was awesomely set up. I watched the game with three guys on my team and we got all pumped up yelling.
Summer or Winter? I like summertime, but since it’s hot in LA almost year-round, it’s nice to have a change of pace during the winter and wear warm clothes.
Celebrity crush: Natalie Portman.
