Short Biography:

I live in Auburn which is between Sacramento and Tahoe, where there's more trees than people. I love music, and have played the piano since first grade. I am obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, addicted to Hershey's Symphony bars, and watch Gilmore Girls and I Love Lucy reruns religiously. Degas is my favorite painter, and East of Eden is my favorite book. I was so excited when I found out I was going to be attending UC Berkeley, and am now thrilled to be a part UCRC's Executive Committee this year!

Favorite Rally Comm Moment:

Building massive sledding jumps during snow trip! (and having fun with a huge patch of black ice)

Would You Rather....find true love or win a million dollars?

Find true love because that would last forever, but I could probably spend a million dollars within a few days.

Would You Rather...be a giant hamster or a tiny rhino?

A tiny rhino. You could probably have more adventures that way.

Would You Rather...be able to fly or be able to breathe underwater?

Be able to fly. Being underwater for that long would scare me.
