Describe yourself in three words: positive, tenacious, adventurous 

#1 on your bucket list: Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

Favorite Aspect of Trinity: Alison Draper

Three things you want with you if stuck on a mountain: 

  1. A group of friends
 are you really “stuck” if you’re surrounded by people you love?!
  2. Squirrel suits so we could jump off the mountain and get to shelter

Most Inspiring Person: Jane Goodall. I go ape shit for that lady!

If you could trade places with one person for a day, who would it be?: An astronaut in space right now. I’d love to explore space for a day but I don’t think I could commit to the lifestyle required of an astronaut. 

Fun Fact about Yourself: My two front teeth are fake 

Favorite Snack: Mango

Standout Childhood Memory: I was quite the feminist when I was little so I used to say “Agirl” instead of “Amen” in church.

Most embarrassing moment: Freshman year I walked by my RA’s room and offered my pals what I thought were Godiva chocolates. They were condoms

Favorite Song to Sing: I’d say my voice is quite comparable to Beyonce’s, so like, probably anything by her!
