Tell us a little bit about a typical day in the life of you? I can usually be found in sawyer or 73 café getting coffee/ having lunch with friends. Although I spend a lot of my day at school and in the library, I like to give myself some “me time”. I feel its important to fit in time for yourself, especially when things get hectic.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items would you want to have with you? My phone, beats pill, oh and maybe some flares or survival kit of some sort.

What are some of your hobbies/interests? I’m obsessed with traveling, exploring new places around campus and frequenting Newbury Street.

How do you feel about being this week’s campus cutie? I’m flattered and a little embarrassed. 

What is your most embarrassing moment? Last week, I slipped in the stairwell of Donahue and to my surprise I was caught by a stranger before hitting the ground. I think I blacked out of embarrassment because I don’t remember his face. Anyway thanks to the stranger who caught me. 

Do you have any hidden talents? I can do the full Crow Pose in Yoga, it’s impressive.

Settle down or hit it & quit it? Ideally I’d like to settle down.

Most awkward date you’ve been on: It was a group date in High school. It was all sorts of awkward and I spent most of the time in the bathroom plotting how I would make my exit. 

Thoughts on Tinder? It can make for some awkward encounters in Sawyer and 73 Cafe…

What’s the one thing you don’t understand about the opposite sex? Everything, hence why I don’t date them.

Who is your celebrity crush? Nate Berkus, I’m a sucker for interior design. 

What is something a lot of people don’t know about you? My little brother and sister are my everything. I love going home and spending quality time with them. 

What are your favorite/least favorite fashion trends for women? I’m confused why the “choker” is coming back. Save that for Lizzie Mcguire re-runs, not the club. 

Describe your ideal date night in Boston: Take me to the Museum of Science and for some Prosecco at the Oak Room and your golden.

Favorite Suffolk memory: This would definitely have to be studying abroad last year with some of my best friends. It was honestly one of the best times in my life!

What makes someone dateable vs hookup-able? Looks are great and all, but there needs to be some substance behind them. 

Any advice for anyone trying to win you over? Just talk to me, I’m usually too shy to make the first move.
