This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Portland chapter.

Name: Nico Marquez

Year: Senior

Major: Organizational Communication

Hometown: Rogue River, Oregon 

Activities: Well, I like to cook or bake, being in the kitchen is a pretty good way for me to get creative. Though I make a pretty good anything, my top two are crab cakes with wild rice and crimini mushrooms, and raspberry lava cakes.

Best UP Memories: That randomly sunny day towards the end of spring semester when everyone pulls out their blankets and lay out on the quad while other people throw a football or Frisbee. We all know that everybody’s pretending to study for finals, really, we’re out for the tan.

Commons or Cove: Hm, Commons, better chance to run into friends there.

One UP Bucket list item: Already accomplished. Stumped a Priest.

Most embarrassing moment at UP: Once, I was napping on the couch in my old dorm Kenna, and some friends actually drew things on my face. Sounds like the movies right? They even took a Snapchat of me snoring. Yikes!

Biggest Pet Peeve: When people smack their lips while eating. 

Favorite TV Show: Grimm, Big Bang Theory, and GoT

Celeb Crush: Emma Stone

Single or taken: Single

Ideal girl: Independent, fun, and open to having fun. Nerdy is great too. Definitely creative or open to new ideas. I’m a fan of Harry Potter and Disney too, so no holds barred.

Ideal date: Playing tourist. Checking out Powell’s and sliding into a side cafe or deli.

Deal maker: Confidence and open mindedness

Hailing from eastern Washington, Julia attends the University of Portland in Oregon, as a Communication Studies major with an emphasis on Journalism. As a magazine and book junkie, Julia reads everything (and anything) she can get her hands on, especially those passionate on young adult culture and entertainment. A woman that gets stir-crazy easily, Julia has been fortunate to have traveled many summers in a row to foreign countries, including a study abroad course in Austria, Germany, and Great Britain. Since a ripe age, she has grown and cultivated her passion and dream of working for a magazine and spreading awareness as well as happiness through the tips of her fingers. Always finding time for herself, Julia can frequently be found quoting movie lines (most frequently Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn), having a 90's dance party with her roommates, or rereading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" for the 40th time.
