What is your favorite place on campus?
I would have to agree with the past Campus Cutie, Keith Boyak, and say the student center. It’s a fun place to just hang out, eat, chill with your friends., and just people watch. Plus there are no classes there!

What are the 3 things you can’t live without?
I couldn’t live without my Macbook, good food, and friends/family.

What is your favorite month of the year?
I really like November. Not only because my birthday is in November, but I really like Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving food!

Biggest pet peeve: I get frustrated in class when someone asks a question and then a couple minutes later someone else asks the same exact question. It’s like wasting my time because I just want to go home! Also really slower drivers!

Who is the most influential person in your life?
I would probably say my dad. A lot of my personality and demeanor comes from him.

What are the top 5 qualities you like in a girl?
1) She has to be able to take a joke, because I like to joke around a lot!
2) Girls that can eat
3) Spontaneity, yet down to chill also
4) Confidence
5) She has to be goal-oriented

What is the first thing you notice about a girl?
How tall she is, because I’m pretty short.

Describe a really good date you’ve been on: We went out to a nice dinner and then we walked around a shopping place for a while. Then we went to Turtle Rock and were hanging out around there. And then I asked her to be my girlfriend.

So far, what has been your favorite college moment?
I think it would be being a SPOP Staffer. I really enjoyed working with the rest of the staff and getting to know a more diverse group of people that I don’t normally hang out with. Also getting to help freshman out and advising them about what college has to offer. It is really rewarding and fun!

Interesting Fact: I have two way older brothers that are 42 and 35. They always used to make fun of me and call me “Tweety Bird” or “Tweety” when I was little because my head was big and it wasn’t proportional.
