WHAT BOOK THAT YOU READ WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER HAVE THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE?
In high school, I read “Girl, Interrupted” by Sussana Kaysen and “First Person, Plural” by Cameron West, which both peaked my interest in the mind and led to my study of psychology.
IF YOU WERE TO CHOOSE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAREER PATH, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
A traveling, wandering, but ever-learning nomad
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO EAT IN THE (EX. KANNAPOLIS, CHAPEL HILL) AREA?
French Express Coffee – Their gingerbread mocha latte helped get me through the cold months! And coffee is definitely food!
WHERE WAS THE BEST PLACE YOU HAVE TRAVELED SO FAR?
My favorite city to explore, and more importantly to eat in, is Miami. It doesn’t hurt that my brother lives 30 minutes away!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SOUVENIR THAT YOU BROUGHT BACK ON ONE OF YOUR TRIPS?

EXTRA: ADD ONE RANDOM FACT ABOUT YOURSELF, SOMETHING THAT MAY SURPRISE PEOPLE.
When I was a kid I absolutely hated sodas. I got so tired of people pushing their soda agenda, I started telling people I was allergic so they would leave me alone about it.
