Favorite type of music: I love music.  I listen to everything but I'd have to say that my favorite
kind of music is rock, funk and reggae.  Dispatch and OAR are my favorite bands.

Favorite food: Italian food!!! Especially Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo.

Favorite type of movies: I like to laugh so I like comedy, and a romantic movie is
always good too.  I'm terrified of scary movies.

Hobbies: drawing and photography.  I like to work out as well.

Why did you choose Oswego? First off, it is a beautiful campus!  Most importantly, I chose it because of the academic programs here.  They have so-o-o many to choose from and they have the program that I am interested in. 
Also, it's far enough away from home that I feel I'm on my own, but close enough that I can go home when I want.

Campus Involvement: I'm on the track and field team.  I'm a thrower (shot put, discus, javelin, weight, and hammer).  I'm on a few different intramural sports - soccer, volleyball, broomball, and softball.  I'm on the club volleyball
team as well.  I write for the sports section of the newspaper, the Oswegonian, and I work at the Fitness Centers.

Favorite college memory so far: Oh, I have quite a few.  I love it here at Oswego, but I'd have to say my most memorable moment so far has been my roommate.  We get along really well.  We're like two peas in a pod.

What do you want new students to know about coming to Oswego? I'd like for all new first-year and transfer
students to have most of the answers they're looking for when they arrive.  I'd also like for them to feel
comfortable here, and to not be afraid to meet new people or ask for help.  Everyone here is very welcoming
and so open to meeting new people.  One last thing, to know that Oswego will soon be their second home and
that it is hard to leave, even just for holiday breaks.  The people you meet will become your new best friends.

What makes you unique?  My friends have all told me that when they first meet me, I make them feel
comfortable and relaxed because of my goofiness.  I'm a real goofball at times and very random, but
I also know when it's time to be serious.  My personality basically sells me.  Someday, I'd like to be a
boxer and travel to a 3rd world country in the Peace Corps.  Oh yeah, I love dance parties.

Favorite Quote: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams".
