What is the most interesting food you’ve ever eaten? The tail of a cow.
Do you have a favorite class or professor at Conn? My favorite class is the Sophomore Research Seminar I took this fall because I was able to perform independent research on Immigration Policies. The professor who taught the class, Prof. Leo Garofalo, is also my favorite professor.
Do you have an embarrassing Camel moment? Yes, after returning from a break freshman year, I hugged my roommate a little too hard and we fell on the ground in front of the mail room in Cro in front of everyone outside of the Cro dance.
Favorite book, movie, and/or TV show: My favorite book is The Fault in Our Starts, My favorite movies are Columbiana and Love and Basketball, and my favorite TV show is Scandal!
