Of all the jobs you could have on campus, what made you want to be a CAST Peer Mentor?

I love the community around the CAST office, whether its the coaches and assosiates or it's the peer mentors themselves. The energy is immaculate and it's so much fun.

 

If you could learn any skill or craft instantly, what would it be?

I would want to learn how to draw perfect straight lines and circles.

 

What’s one thing on your bucket list you know you’ll cross off some day?

Go on a tour around Europe.

 

What's your favorite way to de-stress or relax during busy times?

I love to take a little walk to clear my head. I love to listen to movie scores and live in blissful ignorance of anything that is happening around me for that entire walk and then I get back to work. 
If I'm too tired for a walk, I like to watch Phineas and Ferb or other similar cartoons that make my brain go a little quiet
 

If your life had a soundtrack, what is your theme song?

I'm good (I'm blue) by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha

 

You just won an all-expenses paid vacation. Where would you go?

New Zealand. And then never come back.

 

What’s your favorite place on campus—and why? 

Love library south, cast side, first table as you turn the corner. (or last one in the line of tables if you come in the south side doors)
I have literally been going there every single morning for the past 2 years to do my homework. It's got magic juice or something.

 

What's your go-to comfort food or guilty pleasure snack?

At the moment it's cookies. Probably some sort of peanut butter cookie

 

What's one thing you wish you had known before starting college?

That I was going to learn about several very new ways of life and I should have a completely open mindset to try new things because it always came back around in the end.
