What drew you to AiCASF:
For one I love San Francisco and I knew I would love to go to school here. What drew me to Ai specifically was the fact that for 1 they had my major, and for 2 that they are a more career based school, which is worth the investment in my opinion.
What AiCASF clubs you are a part of:
Adlab
What’s your favorite part about being a Peer Mentor?
I like being able to welcome in the noobs during orientation. I really like to think that being a good peer mentor could be the difference between someone loving the school and staying, and leaving.
How many quarters have you been a Peer Mentor?
This is my sixth.
Goals after graduation:
I want to work for a big Ad Firm in the creative department and hopefully in a few years, somewhere else besides America.
Hobbies:
I like to read, I like to paint and work on multimedia pieces in my spare time (which is limited). I also like to redesign ads in my head while on public transportation or just walking around the city. My hobby is advertising in itself really.
Favorite thing to do in the city:
I love to go on walks with my dog down to the beach, especially when it's sunny. I also love to ride the J train because you get the most incredible view of the city. I love to continually fall in love with the city.
Who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman?
That's not fair! Batman is just a really great man and Superman is an alien.... they don't have equal strength and what not.
What comic character do you most associate with?
I'm not sure. I could say cat woman because a) I love cats, b) I like sewing c) I like scratching people and d) I enjoy wearing ridiculously tight outfits... but I feel that my knowledge of female comic characters is rather limited and there could be a better fit out there that I'm just not aware of.
What historical period would you like to visit most, and why?
Around the time when the East India trading company came about and England was raping the country of India... I think that would be a very interesting time and place due to the crossing of the cultures and creating of a whole new culture. (see: a passage to india)
If you could be an animal what animal would you be and why?
A Llama or an Alpaca because I love them! Or a cat so I could be lazy around the house all day.
If you could be a celebrity for a day, which celebrity would you be?
Alan Rickman! I could leave myself voice mails and that's all I would need ever. Or Kate Beckinsale as I think I've decided she's one of my favorite actresses. And it'd be sweet to be her in Underworld.
