Would you rather live in a big city or the countryside?

Breakfast is my favorite meal. I like the Special #2 from Hole in the Wall or a BEC from Whichday.

Being in the window seat on a flight and needing to use the bathroom, but someone is asleep next to me, so I have the dilemma of whether to wake them up or just fight it through… keeps me up some nights.

A girl who is intelligent, funny, and confident

I’m spending Christmas with my family in Florida.

Among your friends, what are you best known for? 

Baggy Clothes 

Piece of advice?

Do everything 100% – if you are studying, give it 100%. If you are sleeping in, give it 100%; if you are working out, give it 100%; if you are going out with friends, give it 100%. Only get one go-round, don’t let it slip by! (Assistant Coach told me this Freshman year, and it stuck big time)

What is something that immediately gives you the ICK? 

If someone asks me to say something in “British.”

What do you want to accomplish in 2023?

I would love to learn to cook more eccentric recipes. 

What is your favorite Fairfield event? 

I like Christmas dinner at the Tully, everyone’s in good spirits, and the tunes are cool. 

What is a piece of advice you would give your freshman self? 

Freshman year is a whirlwind, for sure. I think it’s important to try everything, the school offers so many sick opportunities, and by the time Junior year came around, I felt like I hadn’t been proactive enough in the first couple of years to learn more about them. So do some digging; it’s COOL TO TRY.
