Describe yourself in 3 words.
Oh boy, well let’s see: caring, lively, and spontaneous.
Favorite inspirational quote?
“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer; it sings because it has a song.” – Maya Angelou
Most played song?
Something by Fleetwood Mac probably. I think “Little Lies” is one of my most repeated songs right now.
Dream Job?
First, I would want to become an actress, film or stage, and then use my platform as a performer to advocate for environmental change, mental illness awareness, and equality for all people.
Favorite on campus spot?
The fitness center is one of my favorite places to go, because I can clear my head, get a good sweat going, and temporarily forget about the stresses of life.
If you could win a lifetime supply of anything you choose, what would it be?
Laughs. I love being able to make people laugh as well as laugh myself. Lifetime supply of laughter can cure anything!
Most unique hobby?
I love to paint. Doesn’t mean I’m a new-age Picasso or anything, but it’s the one activity I can do with nothing attached. I can paint for me and only me.
