If you won a free trip to anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Iceland – it is absolutely beautiful and would be an amazing adventure. I want to hike on glaciers, see the northern lights, explore the inside of an inactive volcano, walk through ice caves, visit the black sand beach, snorkel between tectonic plates and soak in the Blue Lagoon. I could continue adding to this list but it’s a bit too long already.
What is your favorite thing about Youngstown State University?
I love that our mascot is a penguin. Not many places have such a fun, unique mascot. For my undergraduate graduation my sister bought me a build-a-bear penguin in a graduation gown along with the cap and a diploma.
If you could see anyone in concert (dead or alive) who would you go see?
Lizzo – she is my personal hero. I love her whole vibe! The world we live in can be such a challenging place full of negativity. I love her ability to shake things up and promote positivity and self-love.
