What drew you to the College of Charleston?  I transferred here at the beginning of my sophomore year from a school in Boston. I wanted to be in a city and Charleston had always been my favorite. There were so many opportunities to work and follow your passions here that I couldn’t resist. 

 

Favorite spot on campus? The Cistern Yard – the history and stories that accompany the gorgeous scenery makes it the perfect place to relax. Or the Charleston 40 Office in Admissions; it’s my campus safe haven. 

 

Are you a part of any CofC organizations? Charleston 40, Kappa Delta, Theatre Department

What is the best part of being in Charleston 40? I am currently the New Member mom (<3 my babies) and I love showing them what makes the organization "great, not good” (the unofficial C40 motto) & such an incredible family.

 

Do you have any advice for how to deal with a busy school/life schedule?  I would not be the person to ask as I tend to overload myself. But my best advice is to find something that helps you escape for at least half an hour everyday – whether that be a mindless episode of Housewives, taking a yoga class, or getting way too over invested in Scandal.

 

If you have free time, what’s your favorite way to spend it?  I love wandering the streets of Charleston and catching up with a friend. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the few blocks around campus we miss the rest of what the city has to offer. 

 

Favorite “guilty pleasure” tv show? Anything on Bravo. I am pretty convinced I am destined to be a Real Housewife (Nene is my spirit animal).

Favorite food and favorite restaurant in Charleston? I could eat Thai food every day of my life but my favorite restaurant is FIG (but only when my parents, Bev & Gary, are in town).

 

Favorite movie? My Cousin Vinny – Marissa Tomei is everything in that movie/what I imagine my mother was like in the 80’s

 

What song do you currently have on repeat? “Backstreet Freestyle” by Kendrick Lamar

 

What is your dream job? Being the girl riffing and singing the choruses of rap sons. 

 

If you could go back and give “freshman you” any words or wisdom, what would you say? You do you, girl. 

 

Describe yourself in 5 words: Gone with the Wind Fabulous (link)
