Have you been told you have a celebrity look-a-like? “Kind of. I don’t see it myself but I have been told I look like a skinny version of Tim Tebow — especially when I had shorter hair. I’m kind of growing it out right now but people have definitely have called me Tim Tebow on multiple occasions.” 
What’s a fun fact about you? “This is kind of strange, but I broke my arm when I was a kid; so, now my left arm is two inches shorter than my right arm.”

Hobbies: “I do a lot of running and biking. I’m getting into triathlons and things like that too — just really trying to stay active.”

How would you describe your perfect date? Anything active or outdoors. Those are kind of like my big passions so maybe like playing tennis or going for a bike ride. Maybe like a picnic. Just anything outside.
Where are your favorite places to go in Gainesville? “Nightlife, I like to go to Tall Pauls. I’m a big biker, so I like biking through the Hawthorne Trail, which is like a 32-mile paved bike path that goes through Praines Prairie. It’s really pretty, secluded, and just really nice out there.” 
How did you feel being asked to be the Campus Cutie? “I was a little surprised, and then I was like ‘wait, what was that for?’ I’ve never heard of Her Campus before, but it was really flattering.”
