What’s surprised you about Rouse? Just how nice everyone is to be honest. There’s a lot of positive energy around here and I love that.
What’s something cool you did this summer in your off time? I was in grad school…so taking classes and writing papers.
What’s something you do outside of school? Weightlifting—powerlifting specifically—is a huge hobby of mine.
What’s something people would be surprised to know about you? I played rugby in college.
Favorite Movie about high school: Stand and Deliver. It’s based on a true story and has a great message about overcoming the odds and succeeding.
What TV show are you embarrassed to admit you watch? Too many to name, I watch some really ridiculous reality TV: Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, Real Housewives, Basketball Wives, and literally any show on the Investigation Discovery network.
Besides your phone, what’s something you can’t live without? My family.
