She is also a group leader for Tri Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Tau Omega in this yearās Songfest. “Iāve done Songfest every year, and I always say āIām not going to do it again,’ and I end up signing up every year.

What has been a unique experience that you have had at school?
Ā
“I think the friendships that Iāve made are a unique experience in and of themselves. Iāve met so many people and made so many connections, not just for my future, but these are people that I see being in my life long-term. Pepperdine is such a small place that you see these people every day, they know every aspect of your life whether you want them to or not, and I donāt think I couldāve gotten that anywhere else; and the type of people that I meet here are just genuine people, so I think thatās a very unique experience for me. I think thatās the thing that Iām going to take away from Pepperdine the most, besides being in Malibu, school and all of that stuff, I think the friendships are going to be lasting for me the most.”

Iām trying to stay in Los Angeles; itās been my home for so long, I canāt really picture myself anywhere else.”

What do you think youāll miss most about being an undergrad?

Ā
What are you most excited about post-graduation?

Where do you think youāll be in ten years?

What are some of your hobbies?
Ā
“I love to read; like I read I think 30 books over winter break. And I love watching TV, like if you name any television show, Iāve probably watched it, or am obsessed with it. I love watching TV, itās kind of my me time, same with reading, I just donāt have to worry about anything, I just like getting really engrossed with the characters and all of that. Oh and I love to cook! Cooking and baking, I love to do!”Ā
Ā
Whatās your favorite show right now?
“Thatās really hard! I literally watch a show in every genre, but if youāre talking about reality TV, itās probably The Bachelor. I have friends who come over every week and we will sit here, watch The Bachelor and make fun of all of the girls; but I do love Scandal, Scandal is one of my favorite shows. Me and my mom both love it and we will literally call each other to talk about it the next day, but I just love the dynamics of the characters and how much theyāve changed.”
