Bobby, as he is affectionately known, is known for his trademark long, curly hair. Last weekend the certified hairstylist was a featured presenter at IUP’s very first Asian Studies Undergraduate Research Conference. Bobby presented an informative and intellectually stimulating paper  and slieshow titled, “The Golden Age of Chinese Furniture.”

 Bobby lives a simple life saying, ” I like being with my friends, going on outdoor adventures when it’s nice out, and playing video games when it’s not.”

When he was told that he was chosen to be Campus Celebrity due to his involvement with the first ever IUP Asian Studies Undergraduate Research Conference Bobby said, “It’s an honor to be picked for Campus Celebrity.” He continued, ” I’m normally too scared to volunteer to speak at conferences, so its really encouraging to be recognized for it when I do!”

Bobby has lent his aesthetics expertise to Her Campus IUP in the past with an article on DIY Facials. Most importantly, Bobby is passionate about Human Rights and Social Equality and is active on campus in several organizations including the Religious Studies Club and the social equality organization That’s What She Said. 

The Vegan looks forward to the day where everyone lives harmoniusly. 

“My goal in life is to make the world a brighter place,” Bobby said. “Kinda vague, I know, and I’m not really sure how I’ll go about accomplishing my goal, so everyday I just try to make someone smile! I hope to see the day when everyone is united through love and friendship, and I will try my hardest to work towards that future.”
