What are you involved in at UVA?

I’m in cavalier marching band, Charlottesville symphony, kinetic sound, UVA wind ensemble, the U-Yoga planning committee and I’m in the current pledge class of PSP.

What are your favorite things to do in UVA?

I really enjoy going to basketball games and just sitting and relaxing on the lawn.

Who is your female role model?

Honestly, Emma Watson, because she gracefully balances being involved in both the arts and activism, while managing to slay at absolutely everything.

Any fun plans over Thanksgiving break?

I’m going home to see my family, and then I’m travelling to the UVA vs. Tech game.

Describe your perfect fall day:

The day definitely starts with coffee, but that’s just everyday. Then I’d go apple picking at Carter’s Mountain, and end the day by having a bonfire in backyard with plenty of friends.

There’s a plane waiting outside to take you anywhere in the world. Where would you have it go?

Probably go to Mecca to see the Kaaba because that is a great opportunity, and I’m not sure the next time I’d be able to make that journey.

I'm a first year at the University of Virginia. I am pursuing a double major in Economics and Psychology. I have always loved fashion and beauty, and I am seriously considering using my Economics degree to open my own salon. I'm passionate about education and volunteer with a number of groups to further the education of women overseas.
