What's your favorite spot on campus?
I love the Atrium because it is both a place to have fun and get work done.

What has been a memorable moment?
Last year, I got a chance to represent my culture by cosplaying Jewish basketball player Deni Avdija at the Culture Day assembly.

Is there a challenge that stands out?
Homework is no joke, especially junior year, even on days where I spend my free periods working.

What do you like to do for fun or on the weekend?
I like to run a lot, and most weekends I run at least 5 miles by my house. This also helps for track and cross country seasons.
