Self-Description

I was born to be a boilermaker and very proud to be one. I am spontaneous, outgoing, and constantly trying to make people laugh. I value my friends and family, and because of this I would do anything for any of them. I enjoy meeting new people and cannot wait to be an RN.

 
Why AGD?
I chose Alpha Gamma Delta, because it is the only sorority that when I walked in, I didn't feel like I was in a sorority, but instead just hanging out with a ton of girls that were best friends. I never thought that I was the sorority girl type and joining AGD helped me realize that the stereotypes portrayed in movies and Tv shows are very far from true.  
 
Favorites:
TV
I love to watch Friends, Jon and Kate Plus Eight, Rob and Big, and Ace of Cakes.
Movies
I love a ton of movies but my favorites are Across the Universe, The Wizard of Oz, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Ice Cream Flavor
Oreo
Color
Aquamarine and Pink
 
Favorite Alpha Gam moment?
My favorite Alpha Gam moment was singing the old songs from the Alumni. It really made me feel connected with our house.
 
Favorite part about being in the house?
My favorite part about being in this house is the phenomenal women that I live with. I never thought that I would meet so many people in the same group that I would love and respect. It has helped me become more patient and considerate. It has also helped me be more social and outgoing.
 
If you could go anywhere, where would you go and why?
I would go to Ireland to enjoy the beautiful landscapes and the carefree mentality of the Irish people.
   
What do you enjoy doing?
I love being outside on a nice day. I also love snowboarding and snow in general. I love to drive with the top down and jam to my favorite music. Spending time with my friends and being spontaneous is something I do pretty often.
 
What makes you unique?
I am unique because I respect myself and others in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable in any situation. I am usually the one that gets everyone pumped up for something and I try to make everyone laugh.
 
What is your favorite thing about Purdue?
I love den pops, screaming "BOILER UP!", grand prix, greek life, huge involvement in philanthropies, student drivers in airplanes, the band waking me up from a nap, the boilermaker special waking me up on a Saturday morning in the fall, random people running through a class in odd outfits, breakfast club, BGR, and SOO MUCH MORE!
   
Future Goals
I hope to be a very successful nurse someday. I also look forward to traveling with my job and learning from all of the different people I meet. My biggest goal is to look back on life and feel that I have succeeded in living my life to the fullest while making an impact in the lives of those I meet.
   
You've just been given $500 to spend however you like, what would you spend it on?
There are a lot of things I would like to do with $500, but right now I would probably buy a flight to the nicest place $500 could buy and just relax.
