What’s your favorite part about being a Peer Mentor?

I love how fulfilling it is to be a Peer Mentor, and how involved I get to be within my major. I love helping others learn by sharing my experiences, as well as helping them through their classes.

How many quarters have you been a Peer Mentor?

This is my second quarter as a Peer Mentor.

Goals after graduation:

My goals after graduation include working on a cruise ship, even if just for one season. After that I’d love to work in food styling or food photography, and open my own chocolate shop.

Hobbies:

My hobbies include gardening, photography, web design, and fiction writing.

Favorite thing to do in the city:

The best thing about the city is the farmer’s market – and how there’s more than one, and they occur multiple times during the week!

Who would win in a fight, Batman or Superman?

Batman would win, hands down. He has enough spiffy equipment and knowledge to know that Superman’s weakened by kryptonite and be prepared to strike!

What comic character do you most associate with?

The comic book character I would want to be would be DC’s “Black Orchid”

What historical period would you like to visit most, and why?

The historical time I would like to return to would probably be the late Victorian Era, to the early Edwardian era in Europe (1880-1910) because of the arts and to experience the social gatherings.

If you could be an animal what animal would you be and why?

If you could be a celebrity for a day, which celebrity would you be?

If I could be a celebrity for a day, I would choose to be the Queen of England! Why not? =]
