Describe your three best physical traits. My bone structure, my smile, and my runner’s butt.
Describe the best aspect of your personality. I’m affable—spending time with my friends is important to me and meeting new people; I love social interactions.
How would people describe you? I’m a bit wild, social, outgoing and silly, but I can also be very serious…which I think is a good thing about my personality. I think that if I needed to discuss something serious with a significant other, I can balance my seriousness and playfulness.
Describe your ideal significant other. Personality comes first. I think people can be physically attractive, but for me, what makes them attractive is their personality and our chemistry. I think intellect is very important as well… It’s important to have a good sense of humor and to be witty, quirky, active. My significant other would also like to have a good time and meet up with friends. Physically, I like a good smile, good hair, and good bone structure.
What quality in a significant other do you not like the most? Having a temper. I think I can be a bit temperamental and moody, but it would be helpful if my counterpart could get me out of my moods when need be.
What are your opinions about the dating scene at Penn? I think the dating scene is quite complex. I think there is a wide variety of people who are more inclined to hook up with other people, but I think there are other people who have beautiful and strong blossoming relationships. I guess it’s what you try to make of it. But overall, it has been a really good experience, and socially, Penn is a really good match for me.
Where do you see yourself in five years? Probably in New York. Even though I grew up in L.A., my family is from the East Coast. I have always seen myself coming back to where my family is. New York is such a great city, and a lot of my friends are from the East Coast.
What is one of your secret feminine habits? Tweezing my eyebrows
Your best pick-up line: I’m not drunk; I’m just intoxicated by you.
Favorite sport: Running. I also love tennis. I played a lot of tennis growing up. I still play a bit, and I love watching tennis matches.
Favorite musician: I love Bonobo—it’s beat-driven, and he uses a mixture of instruments and other synthesized electronic beats. I also love rap—Kanye, Schoolboy Q, Iggy Azalea, Wiz Khalifa, Jay Z.
Favorite food: Pesto Pasta—it’s so comforting and delicious.
Celebrity crush: Cara Delevingne—she’s a model. She’s super goofy, and it’s so refreshing to see that funniness and carelessness in a celebrity.
Plans for spring break: Visiting family and hanging out in New York for fun
What’s on your bucket list? I really want to go skydiving, which I think is super cliché, but it sounds really fun to do. I also want to learn how to scuba dive. I got food poisoning the day before I was going to be certified, so I really want to do it. And I really watch the sunrise in New York with a lover at some point.
Perfect Date: In a romantically lit Italian restaurant with yummy Italian food, like good bread and pizza and pesto pasta (obviously) and an arugula salad with balsamic vinaigrette, ending with a delicious chocolate dessert because I am a chocolate fiend
