What do you enjoy most about being a hall director? I love interacting with the students, especially first-years and families on move-in day! You'll definitely see me running through the halls meeting families and handing out waters on move-in day.
What's a show, movie, or podcast you're currently into? Currently, I am watching Outer Banks and Love Island. I also enjoy rewatching The Challenge, The Walking Dead, and Grey's Anatomy

I have two cats! I have a Buff Tabby named Penny and a Black American Shorthair named Luna. If you ask me, they are my biological daughters, but some may claim otherwise.
