What sort of advice would you give your 18-year-old self?
I would tell myself to try as many different things as possible! College is an amazing time to experiment, indulge your interests, and find out what you’re truly passionate about.

What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?
I’ve never met an awesome pair of wide leg (preferably printed) pants that I didn’t love—they’ve become my signature. Bring on the palazzos!

What’s your go-to karaoke song?
No Doubt “Just a Girl” - Tragic Kingdom was the first CD I ever owned. I’ve always wanted to be Gwen Stefani, she is such a strong female figure and all around badass.

What’s your favorite movie quote?
"It’s all happening.” From band-aid Penny Lane in Almost Famous (my all-time favorite movie!). She was all about living in the moment and never taking experiences for granted.
