What’s your favorite thing about Suffolk?
It’s location directly in the heart of Boston! I’ve grown so much over the past 4 years living in this city. I’ve met so many incredible people at school, working on Newbury Street, and through incredible internship opportunities! Boston is such an amazing city that has given me so much!
Â
Have you studied abroad? What was that like?
Yes! I studied in Rome last semester and I miss it so much everyday! Being abroad, you are in awe of life 24/7. The experience was everything I could have hoped it would be and more. I’m Italian, so I’ve wanted to go to Italy for as long as I can remember. Traveling to Europe fro the first time, not knowing what to expect, and ending up meeting and traveling from country to country with some of my closest friends was the absolute best time of my life. I traveled across Italy to Florence, Venice, Tuscany, Naples, the Amalfi Coast, experienced Budapest, Prague, London, Amsterdam, Athens, Santorini, Paros, and so many more places. I can’t wait to go back.
Â
What are you plans for after graduation?I’m planning on going to graduate school for an MS in Integrated Marketing Communications in either Chicago or New York City. I may also decide to stay in Boston…I’m not 100% sure yet!
Â
Â
What’s your favorite current fashion trend?Layering! Fall is my favorite season for fashion. Throw on a pair of boots, some dark wash jeans, a military jacket, chunky scarf and you’re good to go.
Â
Most worn item in your closet?Statement necklaces. I actually don’t think I ever leave my apartment without a necklace. I just feel like it completes any outfit!
Â
Who would play you in a movie about your life?Jennifer Garner, which may actually be a result of my love for 13 going on 30.
Â
Any celebrity crushes?Jimmy Garoppolo. My family has season tickets, so I’m pretty die-hard for the Pats. I’m all for Brady, but have you seen Jimmy G? Oh, and Taylor Kitsch as Tim Riggins #TexasForever
Describe your idea of a perfect date.Hmmm, honestly I’d say tailgating and game day at Gillette. But I’m also never opposed to dinner and drinks in the city!
Â
Â
What are your biggest turn offs?Arrogance. Nothing worse than a completely self-centered person.
Favorite Disney movie?Beauty & The Beast
What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?I did competitive gymnastics for 13 years growing up!
