What’s your favorite food? Rice. I am a typical Asian, so that’s why.

If you could see anyone perform in concert right now, who would it be? I don’t really have a favorite singer, but I would love to go to Disney on Ice.
What are three words that describe you? Elegant, passionate and adventurous, because I always want to stand out from the crowd by doing stuff that not a lot of people do, like learn figure skating, wake-boarding, French, etc.
What piece of advice do you have for other women in college? Girls, don’t chase the guys down. Sometimes you will freak them out. Let them take action first. If they never take action, then he is not the guy meant for you.
