Favorite place to study: The old cage booths!Â

Favorite movie: Remember the Titans – the soundtrack is the best. Plus my Dad and I always watch it together. It’s also consistently always on over holidays, so it’s a dependable movie.  Â

What was your favorite part of your study abroad experience in Cuba this January?:Â The chance to explore a part of the world that was entirely new to me! Instead of reading about it in a textbook, we had the opportunity to interact, explore and question a lot of assumed knowledge. Our group of Oles was fantastic, the Cubans we met were incredibly welcoming and it happened to be at least 70 degrees warmer then Minnesota.Â

Do you have a favorite (or go-to) pick-up line, and if so, would you share it?: I’m sending your pics to NASA because you’re a star.Â
If you could own one exotic pet, what kind would you own and why?: A baby dinosaur – one of the herbivores. Otherwise I’d say a penguin. They waddle, are at home in the snow or on the beach and seem friendly.Â
Describe yourself in one word: Spirited.Â
Call or text?: I’d rather meet for coffee but calling is fine.Â
What is your ideal date?: I’ve always wanted to learn how to sail, so learning that and then cooking a nice dinner together.  Â
