What is your favorite Puget Sound tradition and why? 

My favorite Puget Sound tradition is Orientation because it gave me an opportunity to try backpacking for the first time and I met some amazing people during the trip. I went on a three day and two night backpacking trip to the Flapjack lakes in Olympic National Park. One of my biggest worries when I first arrived to Puget Sound was that I wasn't going to make any friends but everyone in my trip was so nice that after our first meeting I wasn't worried anymore. We remain friends to this day.

What is your favorite place in Tacoma?

My favorite place in Tacoma is Jewel Box Cafe in Point Ruston. It is a great place to study by the water.

What is something that Puget Sound has taught you that you did not expect to learn?  

Puget Sound has taught me that even if it looks like you have nothing in common with a person, they can teach you many things and help you grow.

If you could be any fictional character from a movie or a book who would it be and why? 

If I could be a fictional character I would be Sid from the Ice Age. He is very silly and funny all the time, and I love his chaotic energy.

If you woke up one morning with a super power, what would it be and what would be the first thing you would do with this new power?

My super power would be to breathe underwater. The first thing I would do is head over to the pool and break every single school record.
