Why did you decide to start Her Campus Santa Clara? Even though I’m a business major, I enjoy reading and writing in my free time. Sophomore year, my friend was telling me about her experience on Her Campus USF’s team, and I thought Her Campus would be something cool to bring here to SCU. I love how it’s this fun outlet for me but still keeps me connected to what’s going on in and around campus.
Who is your favorite superhero? Without a doubt, Batman. I’ve always found him intriguing.
What is your most embarrassing moment? Definitely too many to count! My sophomore year though, I was walking to Ike’s and ran into a pole because I was texting. Of course there had to be a ton of cars driving down The Alameda that most likely saw me.
Where is the most interesting place you’ve traveled to? So far, Amsterdam. The architecture gives the city such a quaint feel and all its museums and history are fascinating.
