Why are you in D.C.? 
DC is an epicenter for news- its breaking news here first before anywhere else.

Facebook and Twitter…not for news though.  For news I read a newspaper or watch the news.
Why did you choose WMP?
The program allowed me to intern my freshman year, something my fall admit friends were not permitted to do.

It’s hard to chose; probably the Supreme Court or our visit to county jails, it was surreal.

Monument visits, dozens of restaurants, art exhibits.

The Great Gatsby.  It’s probably the single most impacting book on my life; it inspired me in so many ways and helped me do well on my SATs.

It’s all about the connections you make and being determined about your internship. Take advantage of the networking, it opens so many doors.

My professor for Systems of Justice course; she is really nice and was so helpful with my internship experience.
Words to live by? 
Everything my mom says. They’re usually pretty noteworthy and inspirational words.
What are the most important lessons learned since you’ve been here? 
At the white house they taught us “Being on early is on time, being on time is late, and being late…you might as well not show up.” It’s good practice for your internship and your field experiences.
Favorite movie and why? 
Gosh, too many but Billy Madison because I’m a kid at heart and love me some Sandler
If you were a superhero which one and why?
I wouldn’t want all that responsibility, I enjoy the mortal life.
Who has had the strongest influence on you and your life and why?
My parents, they are the two people who no matter what are always willing to do what it takes to push me harder and tell me not to give up on my dreams, no matter how far off they sound. Anything’s attainable with support.
Favorite city and why? 
My favorite city has to be DC, it’s far better than NYC, and more diverse than London- hard to believe, but it’s true. I love the fast pace and intellectual vibe that DC has.
Favorite course of study?
Definitely journalism; it’s my niche.
Your political views?
I don’t share that aspect with the public, but one can always have fun guessing.
