What’s your favorite thing about Xavier?
I love the people here. Everyone is so different, and each person contributes very unique qualities that make the university a vibrant, fun place to be. Coming to Xavier helped me embrace the sometimes quirky qualities that make me who I am.
What quote best describes you?
“Power moves only” – Big Sean (I am constantly striving to help myself and those around me grow. Taking risks can only teach you more about yourself.)
What’s your favorite date spot in Cincinnati?
I love Eden Park. Its views of Cincinnati are gorgeous, and it is a great place to go for a walk. I like how serene it is, whereas Mt. Adams can get crowded and hectic.
How did you react to being nominated as a HC Campus Cutie?​
I was surprised, but really grateful to whoever nominated me. I found out while I was in class, so I couldn’t do a celebration dance or anything too crazy.
