If you had to pick one favorite thing about W&M, what would it be?
I think I truly love how one small campus can be the perfect fit for so many different types of people. No matter what someone is passionate about, there is a home for you here. Also, nothing beats College Creek study breaks.

Freshman year Campus Golf, with a 9am tee time in 40 degree weather, when my friends and I painted our entire bodies bright blue to dress up as Smurfs.
What is your favorite quote?
“No, Katherine, you’re not a wizard.” – My dad on my 11th birthday

I like to think that I’m a young Olivia Pope, but I’m more Leslie Knope than anyone else.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
In high school, I was voted Most Likely to Be Eliminated in the First Round of “So You Think You Can Dance”.
Any words of advice/inspiration for your fellow TWAMPs?
We all take ourselves a little too seriously – get out of Swem and the TWAMP mindset. Make sure you have some crazy stories to tell after these four years are over.
