As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

My favorite places aren't there in the same form they were when I was in undergrad, but one of my favorite places to study and lounge between classes was the amphitheater. I'm also partial to Sirrine Hall.

What's your favorite place you've ever visited? What made it so awesome?
This is really hard for me to choose...but the first country that I went to in Asia was Japan, and it was the first time that I had been somewhere that was so vastly different from what I was used to that it was a truly eye-opening experience.

Anything with peanut butter! If getting Ben & Jerry's, though, it's Half-Baked.

If you could live anywhere on this planet, where would you choose to live? Why?
If I could live anywhere, I would love to live in Dubai or Morocco! I have a love for foreign languages, especially Arabic and French. Both also have beautiful landscapes and an abundance of culture to learn!
What's the best piece of advice you have ever been given / what would you tell your younger self?
The best piece of advice I have ever received is "don't get in the way of yourself." It is very easy to get in your own head and limit yourself, so this piece of advice has always stuck with me. I would tell my younger self many things, but the most crucial things are (1) it is okay to not always have a plan, and (2) connection and friendships are going to be crucial to your life and development, so put a lot of work and effort into every person you interact with.
