If we asked your friends to describe you in three words what would they say?
My friends would definitely describe me as sassy, funny, and sarcastic. They all work in a pattern! My sarcasm comes out in my sassiness, and it usually makes people laugh. When people first meet me, I am very hard to read. If you do not know me, you would think I am always sassy but once you get to know me, you’ll see that my sass is just another part of my charming personality!
You’re involved in so many things on campus! What’s one of your favorite things that you do and why?
Out of the many things that I am involved in, I would say that one of my favorite offices to be a part of is the Dorothy Day Center for Faith and Justice! The people in that office are simply amazing! They have really been a help to me during my Xavier career. I would have to say that their programs really challenge students to think outside the box and challenge the popular opinion. At the same time, the CFJ teaches students to keep an open mind and be able to hear each side of an issue and be able to have a conversation.
As a tour guide, what is the craziest question you’ve ever been asked by a potential student?
I am not sure if I have a crazy question. There was an instance where there was a certain tour guide was giving a tour once and at the end of the tour, the potential student asked if the tour guide would be her roommate when she came to Xavier. That story could be taken many ways but I would have to say I have not gotten any crazy questions.
What’s something everyone should know about you?
I was unsure of what to put here so I asked my friend Victoria Reiss, “Tori, what is something that people should know about me?” She says and I quote, “You have major sass but a good soul!” I completely agree! (:Â
