Meet Music, Baseball and Disney Extraordinaire: Michaela Anderson

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Portland chapter.

Name: Micheala Anderson

Year: Senior

Major: Finance and French double major

Hometown: Ashland, OR

Activities: I am principal flute in the Wind Symphony; I’ve been playing for over 10 years now. I go to as many country concerts as I can, and I am an avid Colorado Rockies fan. I’m also an expert on Disneyland, one of my favorite places to travel.

Relationship Status: Happily dating prince charming. 

Best Memory at UP: I came back to my apartment after Thanksgiving last year and literally every upstairs doorway and wall had been lined in Christmas lights. It was like living in a gingerbread house for the next few weeks. 

Most Embarrassing UP Moment: Freshman year I tripped and fell up the stairs in Franz. Not on the side stairway either: on the main one. 

UP Bucket List: I haven’t been in all the major buildings on campus yet, such as Romanaggi. That has to change before I graduate.

Favorite TV Show: Big Bang Theory

Dream Guy: My dream guy is tall, athletic, dark-haired, and a good dresser. He can make me laugh no matter my mood and finds little, unexpected ways to remind me he loves me. He’s Christian and is ambitious, but easy-going to balance me out. 

Dream Date: Ice skating at Rockefeller Center at Christmas time complete with hot chocolate and followed by a Broadway musical. 

Deal Maker: The guy who buys me a kitten or a puppy (once I can actually have one…) will be the one. 

Deal Breaker: Someone who doesn’t put his faith in Christ.

Future Aspirations: I am excited to serve others through a career as a financial planner. I’m also excited to find ways to get involved in a home church, mentor UP students, and keep learning new things, like line dancing. I also plan to visit every Disneyland in the world.

I am University of Portland student pursuing a degree in Operations and Technology Management. I enjoy working out, being outside (hiking, fishing, camping, hunting, etc.) and shopping. I am from southern California and love collecting turtle-related trinkets.
