Hometown: Weddington, NC
 
 
Hobbies and interests:
Writing, Cheerleading, Everything Math (yes, I am aware that I am a nerd)
 
 
Where would one find you around campus?
SAS Hall (I work as a tutor there during the summer and I teach Calculus 2 for Engineers Recitations during the school year. There’s that, and, well, I AM a math major.)
 
 
Favorite Wolfpack tradition?
Camp-out for Carolina Tickets
 
 
Favorite snack?
Grapes
 
 
Dream job?
High School Math Teacher (Geometry and Calculus)
 
 
Best pickup line? If you were a booger, I’d pick you first! Yeah …I’ve never been good at these.
 
 
What kind of animal would you be and why?
A liger. It’s pretty much my favorite animal. It’s like a lion and a tiger mixed… bred for its skills in magic.
 
 
What pop artist would you get married to and why?
No thanks. I’ve never been a real celebrity fanatic. Plus, I’m already getting married!
 
 
Pet peeves?
Odd numbers, pen clicking, and valley girls
 
 
Favorite Disney movie?
The Little Mermaid.
 
 
Favorite TV show?
It’s a tie between Law and Order: Special Victims Unit and Criminal Minds
 
 
Embarrassing guilty pleasure?
Sometimes I get really excited (or I just need to cheer myself up) and I do a little jig…and I never fail to look ridiculous…typically in public.
 
 
Men need to know that…
women don’t typically try to be confusing and cause drama.
 
 
Best feature?
Obviously my laugh (if you’ve ever heard it, you KNOW that’s a lie)… but probably that I care about every single person I’ve ever met (sometimes a little too much).
If you want physical, my fiancé says it’s my eyes.
 
 
What is something people are surprised to know about you?
At the moment, people are quite surprised at the fact that I am engaged. I met my fiancé online (SKETCH), and we were engaged three weeks later. Other than that, people tend to be surprised at the fact that I was a cheerleader for 15 years.
 
 
Favorite song at the moment?
I like a lot of songs…but I’m not a super music guru. But probably Honey Bee by Blake Shelton.
 
 
If there were a slideshow of your life, what kind of pictures would we expect to see?
Crazy ones with the same group of people over and over again…and plenty of my family. I’m sure I would be making a goofy face in at least 87.643% of them.
