Age: 19 years old

Major: Psychology

Hometown: Tempe, AZ

Why did you choose to come to the U of A? The University of Arizona has one of the best psychology programs in the nation. Also, I received a full-ride scholarship to attend here.

Hobbies/Interests: Medieval recreation, art, music, reading, writing, singing, belly dancing, sewing, embroidery, calligraphy… pretty much anything that seems interesting!

Favorite Class: I love to analyze things, so Intro to Contemporary Studio Art and English are my two favorite classes currently.

Favorite Type of Music: Country, hip-hop, pop, techno, world, EVERYTHING!

Favorite TV Show/Movie: TV Show: I live for Boston Legal, Law and Order (Especially SVU), Desperate Housewives, and Jay Leno. Movie: Ever After, The Princess Diaries, Muppet Classical Theatre, Robin Hood (The Disney version)

Favorite Book: Too many to count! I am a complete and total bookworm, so I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite! Currently, I’m reading three books: Truly, Madly Yours by Rachel Gibson; The Art of Courtly Love by Andreas Capellanus; and Uppity Women of the Middle Ages by Vicki Leon.

Favorite Dessert: Crème Brulee, Lemon meringue pie, chocolate fudge, and my absolute favorite: Rainbow chip FROSTING!

Favorite Sport: Not the biggest fan of sports. I choose to swordfight instead.

How do you define the term "diversity"? I believe that diversity is a group of people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, religious beliefs, basically anything that can make a person unique in their own way.

What do you hope to learn from your experience with the Millennial Project? I hope to gain a better sense of self-respect for myself and for others. I hope to learn from this experience in that I don’t simply see a person for what they look like; instead I will see them for the person that they are on the inside.
