HC: How does it feel to be this year’s first Campus Cutie?

HD: It’s truly an honor to be this years first Campus Cutie! 

 

HC: What was your favorite thing about growing up in the south?

HD: It’s really hard to choose, but I would have to say my family. They are always there for me and have provided me with unbelievable opportunities throughout my life. I also love my momma’s cooking.

 

HC: Since you’re always blessed with warm weather, where do you vacation?

HD: Destin, Florida! My family has been going to the same spot for over 20 years.

 

HC: What is your favorite pool toy?

HD: Definitely one of those mini torpedoes! You’ve gotta love em.

 

HC: What are girls like down south?

HD: Girls down south just have this class and charm that is hard to find up here. It’s hard to explain, but when you see it, you know.

 

HC: What do you hope to do with your major?

HD: Right now I would like to work my way up to be a CISO at a tech company as my dream job, but I’m always open to other opportunities. 

 

HC: What made you come up to the cold in Happy Valley instead of staying down south?

HD: I’m the third generation to come to Penn State. I was raised watching Penn State football, and from my first visit in 7th grade, I just had to come here for college.

 

HC: What do you look for in a girl?

HD: I look for a girl who is motivated and is always down for an adventure. Life is too short to sit around and watch Netflix all day. 

 

HC: What is your ideal date?

HD: Going for a hike on Mount Nittany then going out to lunch or dinner. I will pick up the bill of course. Nothing fancy just very casual and relaxing.
