Why did you choose to go to SUNY Oswego?

I chose to go to SUNY Oswego because I wanted to major in zoology and it is the only school in New York State that offers the undergraduate zoology program. I also love the lake here! It’s so pretty!

 

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I really like to watch Netflix– *laughs* is that horrible? I also really like painting my nails!

 

What is one interesting fact about yourself?

I adopted an elephant for a year from Africa. Its name was Ares. It was a program through a conservatory group that focused specifically on elephants in Botswana.

 

What is your favorite movie?

Armageddon

 

What is your favorite food?

That’s a hard one. I mean, my mom’s mashed potatoes are really good. I don’t know, I like everything. Haha, it’s a problem…

 

Who is your celebrity crush?

Oh god, I can’t. There’s a lot of them. Let’s see… Dave Franco is definitely high on my list. Jensen Ackles… Yeah, those are my two main ones. I’ll stick with them.

 

What is your dream job?

I want to work with animals, that’s for sure. I either want to do research and travel a lot, or do conversation. I’m not sure exactly what kind of animals I’d like to work with yet though.

 

Do you have a New Years’ resolution for this year?

I haven’t really thought about that–at least not yet. I guess just the typically stuff if anything like getting fit. *laughs*

 

Do you have any fears?

Drowning and/or suffocating are definitely huge fears for me, oh my god.
