HC: How do you feel about being nominated as our first female Campus Cutie?
JT: I knew it was bound to happen!
HC: What do you look for in a man?
JT: *sits up and clears throat* . . . He has to be well-spoken, educated, funny and charming. I won’t accept anything less than perfection.
HC: What is your idea of the perfect date?
JT: I am a really simple person. A casual dinner and a movie would be ideal.
HC: What was your worst date?
JT: In my old school, with a graduating class of fifty-two people, who were all Pokemon obsessed, the word “date” was not understood.
HC: What did you do this last Valentines Day?
JT: All of my single lady friends and I ate cheesy bread together after a good night of celebrating our friend’s birthday. We all bonded over the fact we were each other’s significant others.
HC: Do you have any hidden talents?
JT: I can sing, knit, and I’m double jointed.
HC: Is there anything else that most people do not know about you?
JT: I was born in Jamaica and lived there for six years. Next I moved to the Bahamas for eight years and finally Queens, NY for five years. I am a true island gal!
HC: Who is your role-model?
JT: My grandmother. She passed from leukemia about eight years ago. She taught me how to be happy regardless of how bad circumstances were.
HC: What is your spirit animal? Can you explain why?
JT: I just finished an online quiz on this! I’m a rooster because I’m a traditionalist . . . I personally think it’s just because I’m loud.
HC: We heard that you are known as a Snapcht queen on this campus. How did this evolve?
JT: My friends finally persuaded me to download Snapchat even though at first I did not get the point of it. I finally had an epiphany that I could use Snapchat to broadcast my humor to everyone. However, soon I realized that my friends could take screen shots and save these moments forever…which comes back to get me sometimes. This being said, I feel honored to hold this title.

HC: What is something that is on your Bucket List? Have you ever accomplished anything on it?
JT: I want to go back to Africa and learn more about the motherland. I would also like the opportunity to travel somewhere on the opposite side of the world like New Zealand. I think it would be amazing to be immersed in a different culture.
HC: Do you have any plans to go abroad?
JT: I would love to go to Scottland. I have never traveled to Europe before and would love to see how it differs from the places I grew up.
HC: What do you hope to accomplish before you graduate?
JT: I honestly have not thought that far. I like to live in the present. I would like to join more groups on campus. Additionally, I would like to spend twelve hours Saga sitting.
HC: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
JT: I hope to be in a well-paid job that I enjoy and settled in my own house.
HC: What do you want to be remembered for?
JT: Making people happy and the good memories they will have for years after college.
