| Self-Description |
|
I have lived in Indiana my whole life and knew I
would go to Purdue because
both of my parents went there. I went to football games and basketball
games
when I was little and love them even more as a student. I have played
sports
my entire life, but especially love soccer, basketball, and softball. I
like
to run and work-out and just be outside. One of my favorite hobbies is
reading, and when I was little it also was playing the piano. I am an
outgoing
person that loves to smile and laugh and just have a good time! |

Why AGD? |
| Since I am really big on
sports, I definitely liked the soccer aspect of the
philanthropy. When I went back for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th days, I
started to notice how everyone is laid back and extremely diverse. There are so many
different types of girls and majors, and I liked that everyone
was different. Everyone also seemed fun and normal, too.

| Favorite
Alpha Gam moment? |
| Recruitment
with Melissa Michels, watching Beerfest during lunch and being
crazy that entire weekend. Melissa's "banana" moment too... |
| |
|
| Favorite part about being the house? |
| Everyone is very involved and dedicated to what
they do and we are all diverse. Also, I like that we're really
into sports and like having fun. AGD has developed more of my
"people" skills and made me appreciate others more. |

|
| If you could go
anywhere, where would you go and why? |
| Australia because ever
since I saw that Survivor series, I've wanted to visit there and
see the outback and the ocean. |
| |
|
| What do you enjoy
doing? |
| Hang out w/friends, my bf, and just have fun. I
love playing sports and laughing. Although in college so far, my
fun has been hw... |
| |
| What makes you
unique? |
| The one main thing that makes me unique is my
smile...people have always told me they always see me smiling
and that brightens their day. That's one characteristic I love
about myself. |
| |
| What is the most
random thing you have ever done? |
| I tried out for the Teen Tournament on Jeopardy
once...I didn't make it :( but I saw some people on the show a
couple months later that had tried out with me! |

Future Goals |
| I currently have an
internship in Chemical Engineering with Hill's Pet
Nutrition this summer as a Process Engineer in Richmond, IN.
Depending on how
the summer goes, I may work for them full-time or find another
CHE company at
IR in the fall. I want to stay in Indiana for the time being,
and plan on
working in a technical field for my first 5 years. One year
after I graduate,
I am going back to get my MBA. Then, after my 5 year (ish)
limit, I will
decide if I am enjoying what I am doing (and stick with
technical) or want to
do something different (and work in the business/management
aspect of that
company). |

house that I will get very soon! |
