What do you do on your weekends? I really love catching up with friends and going out to dinner. I work hard during the week, so I use weekends as my time to slow everything down and focus on what is most important to me. I love sleeping in late, grabbing coffee with a friend, and spending the rest of my day in bed with a good book or documentary.
What do you look for in a guy? When finding a guy, the most important thing is that he is intelligent. I’m not just talking about someone who gets good grades, I love it when a man is passionate about learning and has a deep interest in the world around him.
If you were stuck on an island what area few things you would need to survive? If I were stuck on an island, I would probably want a boat, for obvious reasons.
What is your biggest pet peeve? My biggest pet peeve is hypocrisy, in all forms. Be consistent.
Biggest turn on? My biggest turn on is when someone knows how to talk respectfully and intelligently. Finding yourself in a long and intense conversation is one of the sexiest things I can think of. Intelligent is sexy, and I hope as a culture, it can come back into being cool and valued.
What’s your idea of a perfect date? I’d love to go hear someone speak or maybe go to concert and then go to a dinner with friends. It sounds unromantic, but I think it is so important to get to know someone in the context of his or her friends. A nice stroll one-on-one afterwards is a must as well.
What’s your favorite song/ songs at this time/ Who are your favorite artists? I’ve really been listening to Kanye’s Yeezus and Hole’s Live Through This recently.
What are you looking forward to this spring weekend? I’m looking forward to seeing the student body have a great time. TCBE puts so much hard work and effort into these short two days and what makes it all worth it is seeing everyone have a great weekend before the school year comes to a close.

What do you do on your weekends? I love to spend time with my friends since I’m usually a hermit all week long doing work. I’m usually the one dragging my friends to go skating or bowling or anything that involves getting off campus. However, if I get the chance, there’s nothing I love more than curling up with a great book.
What do you look for in a guy/girl? Personality, hands down. I know it sounds cliché, but it really does trump all when it comes to me. Also dreadlocks, beards, etc. I’m not kidding… I’m super into the grungy look.
If you were stuck on an island what area few things you would need to survive? Friends, friends and friends!
What is your biggest pet peeve? Two major things. When the car beeps because someone doesn’t put their seatbelt on and when you look on the back of a box of assorted chocolates and there isn’t a directory with pictures.
Biggest turn on? A guy who really knows how to dance.
What would a perfect date look like? ROLLERCOASTERS. Anything with adrenaline and I’m a happy girl.
What’s your favorite song/ songs at this time/ Who are your favorite artists? Nat King Cole and Jim Croce are my all time favorites. A song I cannot get enough of currently is A&E by Clean Bandit. However, I’m also super into Latin music right now so I’d have to say Mane de la Parra, Mana, Carlos Vives… I could go on and on.
What are you looking forward to this spring weekend? The carnival on Friday should be really fun and I’m super excited for the whole school to get together and enjoy the fruits of our labor and amazing weather (it’s supposed to be 72!!)
