Self-Description

I came to Purdue after graduating high school, because I really wanted to go to a big out of state school and loved the campus. I am a pretty laid back person and my friends and family are a huge part of my life. I love making any kind of situation fun and love to laugh!

 
Why AGD?
I chose AGD, because I felt comfortable with the girls. Everyone has very different interests and personalities, but it was really easy for me to get along with every girl. I have had so much fun so far and love living with such amazing girls!

Favorite Alpha Gam moment?
My favorite Alpha Gam moment would probably have to be the entire week of Grand Prix and spending almost every waking moment with all my sisters.
 
Favorite part of being in the house?
My favorite part about being in the house is that there is always someone to talk to if you're having a problem, or laugh with if you just want to be crazy. AGD has helped me develop as a person, because I have realized more of who I want to become. I have also learned how to get along with so many different personalities which will help me out in the real world someday.
   
If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
I would go to Paris, because I want to see a different perspective than just being in the United States and I would love to see the Eiffel Tower.
   
What do you enjoy doing?
I like to go out with my crazy friends, play outside when it's nice, sand volleyball, run, lay out by my pool, listen to music, dance parties, and just hang out with friends.
 
What makes you unique?
I have a very unique laugh and tend to laugh at pretty much everything:)
 
Who is the most influential person in your life?
The most influential person in my life is my older sister. She has been there for me through everything even though she is 11 years older than me and lives 2 hours away. She is a very strong and independent person with a really big heart and I strive to be like her when I get older.
   
Future Goals
My future goal is to finish graduate school and become a Physical Therapist. I want to eventually have my own business and live in either California or North Carolina.
   
You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
I honestly would probably head straight to the mall. I LOVE shopping:)
