• Hometown: Somewhere in the mountains of Oregon/Chicago, IL/Branson, Missouri
• Major/Minor: Global Studies Major, African Studies Minor
• Career/Life Goals: To be the first woman dictator. Not really. I want to go back to Africa where I belong and allow them teach me what life is really all about. But really I want to graduate, work overseas paying off my university debts for a few years then establish myself somewhere and start my own Non-Governmental Organization. I would also like to own a hostel/inn either in a large city (Buenos Aires, Cairo, Rio...) or on the beach or banks of the White  Nile...one day.
  
• Hobbies: Listening to music, taking naps, reading, more listening to music. I live to travel. I like to learn new languages an speak the ones I know. I would really like to add cooking to this list.
  
• Pet Peeves: I have so many neurotic pet peeves that I don’t expect anyone else to understand or to even empathize with so I don’t really want to acknowledge what annoys me about other people and things.
  
• Favorite Music: This is always a loaded question. I don't really know if I should list or what? I like music that gets me. I like a mosaic of different jams. I like acoustic whine bags, I like blues and soul, I like Ryan Adams type music. I like the The White Stripes alot. I like Bloc Party, The Flaming Lips, Kings of Leon, Iggy Pop, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, A Tribe Called Quest, and Much more. I like indie rock, African musicians, and Reggaton from South America -mainly because it holds such good memories for me.
  
• Least Favorite Music: ?? 96.5 Music. Lame.
