Relationship status: Single

Three words to describe yourself: Independent, Silly, and Confident

Describe your style: Preppy meets casual

Fashion icon: Lauren Conrad

Favorite store: Anthropologie

Ideal guy: My ideal guy is fun and confident. Someone who loves to laugh and be silly, but at the same time be able to be mature and sweet. He would be friendly and respectful, a real southern gentlemen. I’d never go on a second date with a guy who didn’t try to open a door for me, I’m really big on guys being gentlemen to ladies. I also love to travel, so someone who is adventurous would be a wonderful quality.

Ideal date: Grab a casual dinner and walk the monuments at night! I’ve always wanted to do that with a date, and I love seeing/doing things that are unique to Washington and exploring the city.

Celebrity crush: Chris Evans

Favorite movie: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Favorite TV show: Bones, I’ve been a loyal fan since season one!

Favorite place in DC: The Thomas Jefferson Memorial, it has the most beautiful view of the tidal basin and the National Mall.

Favorite food: Pizza

Plans for the future: Hopefully I will attend law school after college, I would like to stay in DC after I graduate.

Where do you want to travel? Everywhere, I love exploring new places and new cultures. Semester At Sea is my plan for studying abroad, which will take me across Asia, Africa, parts of the Middle East, and Europe for 6 months! I can’t wait!

Hobbies: Crafting and baking!

Something most people wouldn’t know about you: I’m a HUGE science fiction nerd, I absolutely love science fiction movies. I was raised watching Star Trek with my Dad.

Pet peeves: When people are unfriendly and the overhead lights in the dorms. They are so unnecessarily bright.
