Where do you work?
I’m a building supervisor at the MU, but my favorite job I ever had was when I was a tour guide. One of my favorite parts of being a building supervisor is when I get to work early in the morning, I go to the 5th floor of the MU – it is so pretty seeing the morning from up there, when it’s quiet and peaceful and students haven’t shown up yet. I’m a morning person.
What’s your favorite kind of food?
I love Italian food and Thai food; I also love fried bananas from Thai Canteen. And Open Rice Kitchen.
You went to the Her Campus fundraiser at Let Them Eat Cake. What’s your favorite cupcake there?
The Scarlet cupcake, which is red velvet with cream cheese frosting.
You’ve been here for almost four years. What do you like best about UCD?
I came here undeclared, which let me get to explore the town, and school, and people. I also got to find out who I am, and I have met so many people who I can be myself around and feel accepted for who I am. Also, I like the Death Star, though I still get lost there sometimes. Oh, and the 5th floor of the MU.
What do you do in your free time?
When I get some time to myself, I like watching Netflix and Hulu, shows like 30 Rock, Gilmore Girls, Modern Family, Grimm, and The Mindy Project. I also like hanging out with my sisters in Chi Omega. Sometimes I like going out on Thursdays and dancing at the Grad.
Your favorite band?
Fall Out Boy.
On the Internet, what’s your favorite thing to watch?
Yaaas Cat. It’s a hilarious vine.
Where is your favorite place to relax?
I like the beach, but Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara are also really great.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Ireland and Morocco.
What other things do you like?
I love owls, they’re my favorite animal. And I like men with accents.
