What do you look for in a girl? I like a girl that will want to watch sports with me (I don’t mind what team she roots for, haha) and wouldn’t mind going to a game on a date. If she has a nice shape and a little bit of an attitude, even better. The only thing that will really turn me off about a girl is if she always has to be the center of attention.
 
Why did you choose Fordham? Well, I had several scholarships to play football, but I chose Fordham because it’s a great school and I wanted to see what it was like to live in New York. I wanted to see how different it was from the South.
  
Hobbies: Besides playing football, I like to play basketball twice a week. I also like to hang out with my friends and shop around Fordham or the city.

Favorite Fordham memory: My favorite memory is when my teammates and I won the championship football game when I was a freshman at Fordham.
 

Katie is a junior Communication and Media Studies major at Fordham University. Despite going to school in the Bronx, she is a proud Jersey Girl, born and raised in Cedar Grove, NJ. Since the sixth grade, communications has been her passion and main pursuit. She is actively involved in her school's television station and currently anchors the Fordham Nightly News. As a proud Italian-American, she also serves as a National Youth Co-Chair for UNICO, the largest Italian-American service organization in the U.S., and is a two-time scholarship recipient and member of New York Women in Communications. Katie is currently a Digital Media intern at Ralph Lauren. Some of her favorite things are the Jersey Shore (the place, not the TV show), anything chocolate, and the sales racks at Bloomingdales. She is obsessed with Glee, Rob Thomas, and Sophie Kinsella's Confessions of a Shopaholic book series. After graduation, Katie plans on pursuing a career in broadcast journalism or public relations.
