What are your interests and hobbies?
I love watching anything on the E! network, discovering vegetarian recipes that I could possibly make when I have a kitchen again, and driving around aimlessly listening to new music.
What are you involved in/off-campus?
I work on campus at the Phonathon creating connections with alumni and parents.
Why did you choose Belmont?
My 16-year-old sister is very musical and started looking at schools that would accommodate that. Belmont was at the top of the list and I tagged along because I was starting to get serious about choosing a school. Belmont was beautiful, offered my major, and every person I met on campus was nicer than the last.
Any Role Models? Why?
Giuliana Rancic. Giuliana began her college education thinking she would go into political reporting, but soon found that she was much more interested in the way people tick and their personal lives. She picked up and moved to LA without knowing anyone in order to pursue a career in entertainment reporting, a job that was not guaranteed. She has been through a lot in her personal, as well as professional life, but has always remained positive.
What is your favorite spot at Belmont? In Nashville?
My favorite spot to sit and read at Belmont is at one of the tables in the alleyway behind Potter. The path to get to it is not in plain sight so a lot of people don’t know about it. It’s a nice spot to clear my head and get away from the hustle and bustle that surrounds most of the campus.
Fun fact about me:
I can quote every line from “The Addams Family” and “Addams Family Values”. Those movies are not just for Halloween.
What is your favorite thing about HC?
The fact that it offers women their own space to speak out on things they have found to be important or interesting in their personal life.
Favorite Quote?
“No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” –Taylor Swift
Favorite Food?
Avocado toast with poppy seeds.
Favorite Movie?
Almost Famous
Favorite Song?
Supernova by House of Lions
What’s something you wish more people knew about you? My favorite way to get to know someone is to hear their favorite songs and to play them my favorites. I feel like you can get to know so much about someone that way.
