What do you do on campus?
I am a dancer and choreographer for a dance company called Groove and am an executive member of the women’s philanthropic group The Sorella Society.
 
How did you get involved with college fashionista?
I was featured in CollegeFashionista for Colgate last spring, and the girl that took my picture suggested that I apply for the next semester and so I did!
 
How do you decide on who is the fashionista for the week?
I carry my camera around with me everywhere I go so that I’m prepared when I spot a Fashionisto/Fashionista on campus. Last fall when I wrote for the “Style Advice of the Week” category, I featured mostly girls in the season’s latest trends. This semester I write for “Let’s Hear it for the Boys” which is a little more challenging for me solely shooting boys.
 
3 fun facts about yourself:
