If you weren’t in school right now what would you be doing?
I would probably be auditioning for shows in New York City and nanny-ing on the side to actually make an income.
Â
Favorite hobby?
Musical theatre! I love seeing shows, but above all I love performing in them. My favorite of all time has to be: Phantom of the Opera.
Â
What’s your go to organization tip?
Make lists! They are the best and it feels so good to check things off as you get them done.
Â
When you’re stressed out what helps you calm down?
It depends on my mood. Yoga always calms me down, but sometimes I just need a good chocolate chip cookie- because, who doesn’t?
Â
Top 2017 resolution?
Appreciating the small moments more…like walks with my dog.
Â
Favorite class you’ve taken so far at UVA and why?
My favorite class has been Acting I. I took it first semester of 1st year and it was such a good way to get to know people because it was such a small class. There were people of all different years and majors, but we got along so well and had a great time doing weird acting games together.
Â
Choose between….
Galentines or Valentines:Â Galentines , for sure. Girl power! Who needs boys, am I right? Leslie Knope knows what’s up.
New Girl or Modern Family: Modern Family hands down. I love the banter between Cam and Mitch and pretty sure that Lily is my spirit animal.
Sexy Spaniard or Romantic Italian:  Neither? Not really my type. But if I had to choose, I’d go with the sexy Spaniard because we could speak Spanish together and that’s hot right?
Tropical vacation or Cozy ski trip: Cozy ski trip, I burn way too easily in the sun (sigh).Â
