Student Council, Undergraduate Humanities Initiative, First Year Seminar

Favorite thing about being StudCo President:

I really love the opportunity to interact with so many different parts of the University community each day. I get to hear about students doing things I wouldn’t have even know existed if not for Council, and being able to learn about and help those students do what they love has been a simply incredible experience.

Favorite place to go at UVA/in Charlottesville:

I’d love to say something like a hidden cafe in Belmont, or an independent bookstore tucked away somewhere off the beaten path, but truth be told, my favorite place to be — not just in Charlottesville, but anywhere — are the rocking chairs along the side of the Lawn.

Who is your biggest inspiration?:

My little sister.

Ideal first date:

Not CavDaily’s Love Connection– blind dates terrify me.

Celebrity Crush:

Evan Behrle

Something people don’t know about you:

I’m still questing to be Akil Mitchell’s best friend.

Plans after graduation:

Grad School for Physics
