What are you involved it at UVA?
One of the best parts about college is being able to invest your free time in things you’re truly passionate about; for me, that passion is politics. Â University Democrats and Hillary for America have been amazing platforms for meeting people who share that interest. Â I am also a member of Alpha Phi sorority and Sustained Dialogue. Â
Â
What’s your go-to Starbucks order?
Depending on what I’m in the mood for, I’ll usually go for either an Iced Chai Latte or a Jade Citrus Mint hot tea. It’s great to have with you in a freezing lecture hall!
Â
What’s your favorite restaurant in Charlottesville?
Although it’s hard to go wrong on the Corner, Fig (and it’s addictive fried Oreos) is definitely one of the top restaurants on my list. Â
Â
What’s your current favorite song?
“In the Name of Love” by Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexha is my current Spotify go-to. “With or Without You” by U2 is my current favorite throwback jam, though!
Â
What’s your favorite place on Grounds?
I love the Music Library. Â I feel like it’s very underrated. Â Its natural sunlight and comfy chairs make it the perfect place to study or just relax! Â
