Hometown: Wilmington, DEMajor: EconomicsPersonal Motto: “No Ragrets.”How do you feel about being a campus celebrity? “Uh, I guess pretty cool.”What led you to find your passion in singing and songwriting?“I’ve always had a passion for music. After my freshman year I realized that I really needed a hobby, so I just went out, bought a guitar, and started teaching myself. I ended up getting really into it, and eventually started writing my own songs. It’s something that I really enjoy and can always keep me happy. Plus, it’s pretty popular with the ladies.”What’s more nerve wracking performing live in front of an audience or having an interview with a hedge fund?“The hedge fund interview for sure. Playing in front of crowds is a ton of fun for me. The interview for the hedge fund was really serious and scared the sh*t out of me more than any performance would. It also didn’t help that the guy interviewing me was a former Navy SEAL and CIA interrogator.”Top 5 things to do before graduating:1.    Pass Econometrics2.    Perform at Beta Beach3.    Win another Pat League Championship4.    Make it to the final four5.    Drop an albumTop Travel Destination: “Barcelona.

Even when life gets crazy, I remind myself that I am in charge of being happy.”2.    “As nerdy as it sounds, I always make to do lists. I find that compartmentalizing everything that I have to do makes things much more manageable.”3.    “I make Peter Marchetto come up with answers the Campus Celebrity questions when I have no idea what to say.”
