Why VCU? When I toured the campus I immediately fell in love. I was offered a few scholarships due to my high school achievements. The people I’ve met here really make this school for me. Some of the people I met on my first day at orientation are still some of my best friends today.

Favorite restaurant: I have to say it…Chipotle.

Hobbies: I like to play Tennis, workout (this is a recent surprising thing), play video games, hike with friends around Richmond, and just make memories with all the people I love.

Pepsi or Coke? Brand wise, I do love Pepsi because Mountain Dew is my favourite drink. But Coke itself is better than Pepsi.

Who would play you in the movie of your life? Leonardo Di Caprio. He’s got the hair.

What’s your biggest pet peeve? Going out to a restaurant and before I even get to taste my food someone swipes a fry.

Last song you listened to: Bastille- Pompeii. Have to rep the UK.

Do you have any hidden talents? I have an accent I guess. Not really a talent. Only those who know me know I can talk in it.

What’s your guilty pleasure? English. Chocolate. Oh Lorddddddd.

Fun fact: I was in Italy when they won the World Cup in 2006, most amazing experience of my life.

3 words to describe you: Loyal, Outgoing, Optimistic.
