Three Words to Describe Yourself: Personable, Somewhat Flamboyant, and PHABULOUS…okay the last one is kind of true

Your Favorite Words or Phrases: “Classic,” “fabulous,” “wonderful,” “too much,” “you’re a nut.”  Honestly, I am a woman full of catch phrases… Shoot me a new line anytime, y’all!

Style: J.CREW LOVER.  But also, let’s be real…I am a broke college kid so I enjoy Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Forever21, H&M, and all the second hand stores around.

Ideal Guy:  I would say I’m generally attracted to a guy that is taller than me and has a stellar personality. I laugh pretty easily, but if you can make me cackle – well folks, we have a winner there! Also, don’t ever try to be cool…awkwardness is HOT.

Ideal Date: Let’s be real. Dates should be adventurous and fun – TAKE ME SKYDIVING! LOL just kidding…but not really.

Favorite Memory at AU: Quadding all day, every day. Spring 2012 – take me back!

Favorite Thing to do in DC: Exploring new museums and places in DC when I have free time. There is so much to offer culturally, and it is necessary that we all take advantage of it. Eastern Market is my spot.

Hobbies and Interests: Swimming, hiking, reading, eating good food, exploring, trying new things, and of course watching all the Girls, Sex and the City, Scandal, Parenthood, and Homeland that I can get my hands on.

Little Known Fact: I once had my nose pierced and loved it.
