What’s your favorite part of being at Pepperdine?
“I love discovering the little joys that the campus and faculty have to offer. I’ve been on some really neat (and spontaneous) adventures and I’ve met a small handful of the most beautiful people alive.”
What is something most people don’t know about you?
“I have an irrational fear of strong winds. I think I watched The Wizard of Oz too much as a kid, so now I’m convinced that a tornado (or Santa Anas here in California) is going to uproot everything.”
What’s your biggest pet peeve?
“My biggest pet peeve is that discrimination still exists. Whether it’s sexism or racism or any form of bigotry, it’s not okay and it irks me to no end that people not only disrespect others, but they think they can justify their actions.”
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
“I mean, I would love to backpack for the rest of my life, but I don’t think that’s very practical. Realistically, I see myself working with animals in some way, following a regular sleeping pattern, trying to live a life that makes me happy, and hopefully still running from adulthood.”
