Residential College: Pierson 2013
Hometown: Naperville, IL
Major: Sociology
Why I joined Phoenix: I have always found all types of dance to be vibrant windows different peoples, cultures, and places. I love discovering the many beautiful cultures of Asia with Phoenix. My favorite part, however, is the friendships I've formed with my fellow dancers--they are all amazing!
Interests and Hobbies: Art is probably my favorite hobby--it never fails to relax me, and it always focus my scattered mind. I also enjoy spending my time playing the piano and listening to music in general. Outside of the fine arts, I am interested in writing and public policy issues. For some reason, I like cornfields very, very much

Why I joined Phoenix: I like to dance, but Phoenix is the first dance
group that I've joined. I love the Phoenix sisterhood and Sunday practice and brunch together never once fails to relax me and allow me to put things into perspective.
