What do you like to do in your spare time and why? I like to spend a bunch of time with my friends, which mostly includes my roommate Elle and my boyfriend Chris. Of course when I’m home I spend as much time with family as possible. One of my biggest hobbies is gardening. I have been having some fun with seedlings this spring that will eventually make it into a raised garden bed my roommate and I rigged for our porch.
Tell us about your favorite place or experience. My favorite experiment is driving back into Boulder after having been home for a while. I like the feeling of coming back to this place I have been able to make into a home. I also love the feeling of seeing so many people around.
What are your plans (or dreams) for the future? Right now I am very focussed on graduating college and applying to graduate school. I don’t feel like I need to go immediately, but I do plan on applying and exploring the options.
Is there anything we can do to support you or your cause? You guys are already so great! I look forward to seeing everyone in July.
