| Self-Description |
|
I'm really down to earth, and yes I do know a
lot of people say that, but I think it's really true about me. I pride
myself on always being honest, even though some people will take it
personally, I don't want to ever live with the guilt of lying. I was
raised on a farm, which my dad still works and we have cows and corn and
soybeans and pigs for 4-H season! |

Why AGD? |
| Alpha Gamma Delta was
always in the back of my mind, because my mom was an Alpha Gam at
IU (booo...). So it was one of the two houses I actually knew
anything about going into rush and it turned out to be the
perfect fit. Everyone in the house is really laid back and
always up for some kind of adventure, but we still take our
academics fairly seriously and can study hard if needed. Coming
to the AGD house just felt like coming home, and now it's true! |

Music |
|
When it comes to music, I try anything.
I usually like songs instead of artists or albums, so it's hard
to generalize. But I do like female vocalists/songwriters a lot. |

| Favorite
Alpha Gam moment? |
| Texting
Mandy, in the bed next to me, late at night about the creepy
sounds in cold air. |
| |
|
| If you could go
anywhere, where would you go and why? |
| India. I probably will
someday to see one of my best friends have her traditional
Indian wedding. |
| |
|
| What do you enjoy
doing? |
| Play Ultimate! And also,
get Den pops and drive around with my sisters, go to football
games, play the Wii (I'm a big nerd). |
| |
| What makes you
unique? |
| I make jokes about
everything, and a lot of things can seem funny to me but not a
lot of other people, so you might see me laughing to myself a
lot more than anyone else. I 'd also say playing ultimate on a
competitive level makes me unique as well. |
| |
| Fun Facts: |
| I grew up on a farm. My
family raises cattle and farms about 900 acres of crops. My dad
has lived in that same house for his entire life. I won a trip
to Washington, D.C. in an essay contest in 6th grade. For my
17th birthday, my parents arranged for me to fly a plane for
half an hour. I was in 4-H for 10 years. |

Future Goals |
| I want to go to
graduate school in a BioEngineering program to get into organ
synthesis (aka growing organs so we don't have recipients
waiting for months on a list) and other cool and gross stuff. I
also want to travel around the world. Literally every country,
if it was possible. But when that's all over I'd like to live in
a big house and have one or two kids. |
