What made you choose your school? I fell in love with the campus the moment I stepped out of the car. To be a part of such an idyllic setting with amazing professors is such a treat!

What activity makes you happy? Reading a book that gives me goosebumps!

What is your biggest pet peeve? People who are late. I'm a stickler for time management.

What is something about you that might surprise someone? Even though I'm an English major, I seriously considered a career in the sciences.

What is your favorite book, movie, or TV show and why? My favorite TV show is Gilmore Girls because I'm so much like Rory. She and I both carry books everywhere we go, even to the movies!

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why? I'd love to travel to Egypt and explore all of the archaeological sites. Since I was little, I've loved all things about Egyptian history.

If you could be a superhero, what would you want your superpowers to be? I would love being able to teleport -- that way I'd never be late to anything!

If you had a million dollars, how would you spend it? I would donate half of it to The Girl Effect and spend the rest on building a massive library.

What are your plans for after graduation? I hope to become a librarian or an editor.
