Year: 2016

Areas of Study and Why You Chose Them:

Major: International Business (I like to work hard)

Minor: Art (I’m a potter)

Asian Certificate (love culture…

European Certificate (…and travel)

I like to challenge myself.  I like everything. I guess I’m superwoman.

Hometown and Your Favorite Thing About It:

Pittsburgh, PA

Mt. Washington.  Who doesn’t love to stare at the beautiful Pittsburgh skyline at night?

Best Book You’ve Read This Summer: Fifty Shades of Grey <3

Best Movie You’ve Seen This Summer: I watched Moulin Rouge a lot this summer. SO GOOD.

Favorite TV Show You Watched This Summer: That ’70s Show. As always.

Song You Listened To All Summer: “Monster” by Meg & Dia (remix)

What’s Your Favorite Thing About Going Back to School?

Being with all my friends! I love going out with ma gurlies and dancing the night away, then spending the whole week talking about that night.

And the exams of course :D …..

Childhood Dream Job: Chef

Current Dream Job: World Traveler

One Piece of Advice For Every First Year Student:

Drink all your juices! OJ, CJ, AJ, etc. Get that vitamin C so you dont end up like me being sick all the time and trying to handle the world.  I got whooping cough for two months and tonsillitis after winter exams; that was the first semester! Who gets that? People who won’t drink their VC and get enough sleep, that’s who. STAY HEALTHY.

Why did you choose Chatham?

I always loved small schools and I wanted to be in the city, so after I spent a night at this beautiful campus, I knew I’d fit right in.

What do you love most about being a Chatham woman?

I love me some food without guys looking at me eat. When I’m around guys I try to act perfect, but here us gals can be who we want to be. So if I want to eat the day away, or act not so cute… I can without acting perfect.
