One of my favorite parts of being alive today is being caught up with all the Marvel movies and shows. I watch entirely too much TV, but I love putting everything together, especially in that universe. I also like knowing random movie or celebrity trivia and will watch most romcoms that come out. I enjoy walks in the sun, smashing pieces of ice, and eating bread in all forms. I like teaching, but I'm also really interested in being a women's health researcher to help with access and care disparities all over the world.

What are your favorite books? / What are you currently reading? 

I am currently reading the ACOTAR (A Court of Thorns and Roses) series, and I am absolutely obsessed. I am also reading Period. End of Sentence: A New Chapter in the Fight for Menstrual Justice by Anita Diamant.

What do you do differently than most people? 

Eat pizza. I like to eat my pizza in vertical lines, so I have enough crust to hold onto, but not leave all of it for the end.

Why did you decide to join the Honors Program?

I joined the Honors Program because I thought I was really smart as a freshman. I've stayed in Honors, however, because I love how much there is to learn from classes and the people involved in Honors.

What has been your favorite part of your Honors experience?

My favorite part of my experience so far is definitely TA-ing for Honors 120. I love the class, and I especially love the people I've met in that job.

What is your next step in Honors?

I'm in the middle of the Unexpected Connections classes right now and desperately need to get going on my thesis proposal.
