What do you do on your free time? What free time? Just kidding. I try to run my dog, hang out with friends or family, discover new ice cream places, workout, hike, watch netflix, sleep, and eat fabulous dinners.
If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life it would be? This is easy: sushi.
What is the best date you have been on? Of course it would have something to do with traveling. At the moment, car camping during Coachella has to hit the top five! After that, being tourist in Mexico for two days and staying in Cayucos Beach, Calif. for a week every summer together.
What is your favorite gift you have given/received with your BF? He really outdid himself last Christmas when he gave me the beige black trim Michael Kors handbag and matching wallet. Next year, I am hoping for a fossil watch or Alex and Ani if he is reading (wink, wink).
Describe your personality in three words: Bubbly, Ambitious, Classy.
Why did you decide to come to La Verne? I admit, my first choice was not the University of La Verne. However, as soon as I visited campus and met with my Financial Aid advisor (Tammy), I knew the University was for me! Everyone was so polite and nice. They held the door open; the staff was smiling, and I had only heard amazing things about the University of La Verne from my friends and family.
What is your favorite thing about ULV? My professors know my name and constantly challenge me on an intellectual level. What an amazing school we go to!
