  3. Who was your first Wesleyan crush? Mitchell Robinson in Kindergarten.
  4. What is your most embarrassing moment? In 8th grade, I was running past this group of people in my school (I don’t know why but I was) and I completely wiped out in front of them and both of my knees were sliced open and I was laying on the ground because I couldn’t move and people were laughing.

  6. What is the theme song to your life? “Ridin’ Solo” by Jason Derulo.

  9. What do you hope your life will be like in 10 years? I hope to have a stable job that allows me to travel around the world with my husband and family.
