- Favorite Summer Memory: When I was younger, my sister and I used to travel to visit my grandmother in St. Thomas, USVI (right across the stream from Puerto Rico). I distinctly remember that during one of our last days there, we went to the beach, and while we were eating pizza and wings, this flock of seagulls came and swooped down on our food. One of the seagulls even took my pizza crust straight out of my hand! In the moment, it was pretty shocking, so we just chased the seagulls away, laughed at the whole situation and watched the sunset. Definitely a good summer.
PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE:
- Craziest thing you’ve ever done: TBD
- What you’re thinking about right now: Waka Flocka has got that crank. How poppin Amy Winehouse station on Pandora is on the low. Also, how inappropriate this wind is.

WORDS OF WISDOM:
- Role Model: My parents
- Best Advice You’ve Ever Received: “Apply for everything,” and “You cannot love life until you live a life you love.”
- Write something about yourself! I think that two of the most important things in life are to travel and dress well. Traveling because it is so amazing to be able to see how people live outside of the world you live in. Dressing well because I feel as if the way you present yourself unto the world is how they perceive you. Not saying this has to be an everyday occurrence, but the majority of the time. Also, who doesn’t like to look good af?
