Self-Description

I am a very tall, fun loving person who can't go anywhere without my calendar and cell phone. I believe that there isn't anything that a sexy pair of heels and a nice shade of lip color can't (at least help) fix. While I am looking forward to my graduation day already, I am so happy that I chose Purdue and I am grateful all of the opportunities that have come because of it.

 
Why AGD?
When I was deciding whether or not to rush, my friends convinced me that I should come up and meet the girls during informal recruitment. When I got there, it was so inviting and the girls were so friendly and accepting that I decided that AGD was the house for me.

Favorite Alpha Gam moment?
My favorite (appropriate) Alpha Gam moment is when, during a recruitment lock-in, my roommates and I decided to teach our entire pledge class the official dance to a rap song. We formed lines down the walls of the third floor hallway and were all wearing sweatpants, sideways hats, and sunglasses. We were so hood. Just kidding. But seriously.
   
If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
It is so hard for me to pick only one place! I guess I would have to say Italy. (That way, I am in a prime spot to continue traveling while I'm over in Europe! It's called cheating the "pick one place" system. ;))
   
What do you enjoy doing?
I enjoy watching stand-up comedy, baking, discussing economics with my father, shopping, surfing the net so as to acquire useless pieces of knowledge, watching the History Channel, sewing costumes, and breaking out into spontaneous dance parties!
 
What are some odd obsessions you have?
I have a slightly ridiculous obsession with Heinz Ketchup.
   
Future Goals
I want to make partner in a law firm that is not in the Midwest, give me a coast. I have always been relatively indecisive as to which coast I want to live on, but as long as it is a coast, I will be happy. I want to make enough money that I can do whatever I want (within reason), but not enough money that I don't have to work. As for non-career related things, I have a list of 100 things that I want to do before I die. My goal is to mark everything off of that list.
   
You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
I would go and spend it in Las Vegas!
