Best college experience: One of my favorite experiences in college was a two-week service trip to Quito, Ecuador. That was my first time abroad, and it made me realize how important it is to travel and experience other cultures, people, and places.

One piece of advice: Be your authentic self. This can be especially difficult in such a social media driven world, but the reality is that once you start being your authentic self, you start embracing what makes you unique.

Favorite TV show: Scandal, Parks & Recreation, and Will & Grace

Favorite quote: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
