What is something no one would guess about you?

I spent a month in Switzerland to study the impact of tourism on Alpine Chamios feeding habits.

How do you spend your time outside of school when you’re not helping others?

I am generally spending time with my family and dog. We like to play board games and go for hikes together.

What are some of your favorite hobbies?

My favorite hobbies include: biking, swimming, and  reading.

What’s your favorite movie and why?

This is so hard. I generally have a difficult time with favorites since I have so many. When I want to watch something that is light and generally a feel good movie, I tend to pick Sweet Home Alabama. I love Reese Witherspoon! When this movie first came out, I was in school in Alabama and watching it again gives me a sense of nostalgia.
