Starbucks! I LOVE coffee.

Lucy van Pelt from “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown.” It was fun to play someone who was so mean for a few months!

If you were a shoe, what kind of shoe would you be and why?
A Christian Louboton 4 inch red pump. The red soles are just fun!

Why did you choose Gettysburg?
Well, I got accepted to 12 schools so it pretty much came down to a dart board and one dart! Just kidding. I visited here many times and just fell in love with the campus and how nice all the students were to me, even though they didn’t know me.

What is your favorite thing about Gettysburg and why?
The professors get to know their students very well and it’s easy to go to them with questions and for help. It’s also really nice to live with the people you get to be in class with.
