What is your idea of perfect happiness? 

Finishing my degree, loving my career, enjoying life with my son, daughter, and fiancé and making art!

What is your greatest fear? 

Something awful happening to my children.

What trait do you like least about yourself? 

I second-guess myself a lot, and most of the time my initial feeling is always the best approach on things.

Which historical figure do you most identify with?

Claude Monet, he initiated Impressionism (one of my favorite art movements) and observed nature in a new way which I identify with because I’m constantly awed by how beautiful nature is and ways to recreate that. Also, I would love to be able to create my own water garden!

Who is someone you’ve met at Indiana State you’ll remember the rest of your life?

There are so many! I think I’ll always remember all of my Art instructors since they all pushed me to take my vision further and grow as an artist and professional.

Which talent would you most like to have? 

I wish I could play an instrument, particularly, the harp.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

My greatest achievement would be going back to Indiana State and finishing my degree.

If you were to die and come back as a person or thing, what do you think it would be? 

If I was reincarnated, I would hope to become a flamingo because they’re unique and can fly.

What do people notice first about you? 

I hope that they notice that I’m usually smiling, unless I’m in deep thought about something serious.

What does BLUE mean to you? 

BLUE for me stands for community and how Indiana State is community driven. I’ve built several meaningful relationships with individuals on campus and off and I wouldn’t have been able to do that if I wasn’t involved with the different organizations and activities that Indiana State offers.
