If you had three wishes from a non-tricky genie, what would you wish for?
#1 I’d wish for a Patriots roster spot so I could win a Super Bowl with my best friends Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski
#2 I’d obviously want Super Man’s powers (post puberty)
#3 I would also wish for success
What are you most proud of?
Most recently, I’d say my work at UMass as a peer health educator of the Not Ready for Bedtime Players. Our sex positive educational theatre troupe performs for thousands of new students every summer, and impact hundreds more during the semester. We are connected beyond UMass, and during my freshman year I led an alcohol prevention workshop at a Youth Conference at Greenfield Community College. We’ve had more opportunities to impact the community, and were recently featured in the New York Times for our work on bystander intervention. Aiding the UMatter campaign, we also created Public Service Announcements.
If you were a type of animal, what would you be and why?
I’d probably be a dog because I’m so down to chill, eat food, and be loved all day. Preferably a Pomsky (Pomeranian-husky). If you’ve never seen one…
