Relationship Status: Single
HC: How would you describe yourself in three words?
BA: Awkward, driven, and outgoing
HC: What are you involved in at UMass?
BA: Mostly just things that involve playing with animals, which is pretty awesome. I work with dairy calves off campus and our UMass Belted Galloway cows. The farms are definitely my go to escape when I’m stressed out or need a break from everything. I’ve found that a baby cow can cure almost any bad mood. I also run a peer mentor group for the Animal Science department which is a really fun way to get to know a lot of people in my major.
HC: What are some of your hobbies?
BA: Besides playing with animals? I love to ride horses. I’ve been riding since I was really little. I also love to play the piano and sing in the car.
HC: Who’s your favorite superhero, and why?
BA: Well, I don’t know much about superheroes, but probably Batman because the Batmobile is pretty cool.
HC: How would you describe your ideal date?
BA: Anything with coffee, animals, or ice cream. Bonus points if all three are involved!
HC: What’s your favorite movie quote?
BA: There are too many to choose from! I quote “if you ain’t first you’re last” a lot and love almost anything Fat Amy says in Pitch Perfect (1 or 2).
HC: What’s your biggest turn on/off?
BA: I think the biggest turn on is when guys pick up on little things like favorite songs, how you drink your coffee, etc. I feel like it shows they’re paying attention. I’m not really sure what the biggest turn off is.
HC: Where would you go in a time travel machine? Would you stay?
BA: I wouldn’t go. There are too many movies about messing with time and I just know I’d mess something up big time!
