If you only ate one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Sushi — there can be a lot of variety and it’s good for you!
Favorite spot in Richmond?
Right now, Carytown! There’s so much in it!
Your room’s on fire! What’s the first thing you grab?
Realistically I would probably grab my ID, phone, or laptop — the things that are hard to replace.
Do you have any pet peeves?
I don’t like dripping water faucets! And untied shoelaces!
What about just pets?
A cat and I miss her everyday!
What are you doing on a typical Friday night?
Probably Netflix, with some comfort food. I’m currently re-watching Scrubs.
What’s your dream job?
It’s a toss-up between two: I really love teaching so that’s the first one. The second one is to be a script writer.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Graduated, employed, have traveled, have my own cat.
What about in 10 years?
I’d like to be established in my career, published, have a permanent home and in a serious relationship.
If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be and why?
California — I’ve never been and I’ve never left the east coast. I’ve always been interested in their culture.
Celebrity crush?
Joseph Gordon-Levitt!
If I could be anyone but myself, I would be…
Aubrey Plaza. She’s so quirky and I just really want to see what it would be like to be her.
If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
A cat! I like time to myself, but I’m not against socializing. It’s a good life! And I always land on my feet.
