Who is your celebrity crush? Jake Gyllenhaal because he is beautiful but mostly because, if we married, I’d be related to his awesome sister Maggie Gyllenhaal.
What movie/TV/book character do you most relate to? Chihiro Ogino from “Spirited Away”. I love how she’s first constantly scared to death by all the crazy stuff and crazy beings and rude people around her but later calls them her best friends. Everyone realizes how awesome she is and regrets being mean to her just because she lost her shit for a little while. I highly identify with all of it.
What’s your favorite part of Seattle University? Its history and community of activism and poetry.
What professors/classes would you recommend to other students? Dr. Edward Reed and his UCOR Poverty in America Class, Dr. Christine Mower and her Intro to Women and Gender Studies Class, and Dra. Gabriela Gutierrez y Muhs and her Latina Writers class.
