A few interesting things you’d like to share about yourself: Before going to college, I thought about majoring in theater. Acting as an ostrich on Noah’s Ark in the play “Children of Eden,” convinced me, however, that I was not suited for the stage. Wearing a huge ostrich costume was humiliating enough, but when I fell onstage in front of a full house, that was it. That marked the end of my acting career. After that, I focused more on my other passion: writing. The first thing I ever wrote was when I was eight years old; I wrote a book titled “Molly Hood.” The book was inspired by Robin Hood and the plot was pretty much the same, other than the fact that I was the chief character and the Merry Men included all of the pets I had during my childhood.

What you like/don’t like about Columbia: I love the professors at Columbia. Most of them are savvy, experienced and super vulgar, which entertains me. I don’t like how Columbia is sometimes artistic just for the sake of being artistic. Maybe I’m wrong, but that is the impression I get from Columbia at times.
