What do you love about Ole men?
“I love that they are generally very laid back. It’s easy to go up to someone and have a conversation without it feeling weird or awkward.”
Hobbies?
“I love to be active by playing sports, hiking, biking, tubing, etc. I’m a planner, so I like hosting parties, road trips, or even just dinner—I love to bake and cook. That being said, I love food. I try to find small, local restaurants that are amazing and spend my Saturday mornings in the summer at the farmers’ markets in Madison.”
Activities you are involved in?
“I am a goalkeeper for the women’s soccer team here at St. Olaf. I work at the Pause making your food and sometimes delivering you pizza. I was on an IM basketball champion team!”
Call or text?
“It all depends…if someone wants to have a conversation, call for sure. I hate long conversations over text, but I do love receiving text messages.”
What is the most romantic thing you have done for a guy?
“My boyfriend at the time was playing guitar at his church one Sunday. So, after telling him that I was busy all day, I surprised him at the service and we spent the rest of the day together lying in the grass listening to my favorite Beatles songs.”
What is your favorite place to study?
“I’m always studying in the Pause.”
Favorite food?
“I love the sweet breakfast foods like pancakes, waffles, French toast and cinnamon rolls… but I don’t like them in the morning.”
Any secret or hidden talents?
“Well if they’re a secret, I can’t tell you. There is one that only my very best friends know and will not be shared with the world.”
Finish this sentence: A guy looks his best when…
“He’s comfortable—jeans and a sweater.”
Describe yourself in one word.
“Friendly.”
Favorite Holiday?
“Christmas. I get to spend time with my family, frost cookies, play in the snow and drink hot cocoa by the fire.”
Pet peeves?
“When people are judgmental, complaining or fake.”
What is your ideal date?
“Grabbing dinner at a really quirky, local restaurant followed by a low-key concert, then probably eating ice cream after that.”
What she wants Ole men to know:
“I love to have a good time and talk with people I don’t know. So if you see me around, come say ‘hi!’”
Best pick up line?
“If I were an enzyme, I’d be DNA helicase, so I could unzip your genes.”
Or any Harry Potter one.”
Ryan Gosling or Ryan Reynolds?
“Ryan Gosling.”
