What do you look for in a girl? Someone who is personable, open to trying things, and loves sushi. Then being able to make a connection to get to know them, because meeting them is the hard part but then you have to try and see if you’re compatible, and compatible is when we don’t have everything in common, because having differences makes it interesting, and we can carry on a conversation.

Fun Fact: I lived in Hamburg, Germany for a month and I speak German.

Favorite CMU Moment: When Guster performed on the cut and they had fireworks going during the last song and making it to the finals of the club hockey tournament.
