~ I was born in Bridgeport, CT and moved to Fairfield when I was 5, which is only the town over so I wasn't going far. I have two older brothers, 22 and 20, a sister who is a junior in high school, and a lab mix puppy who is a little over a year old.

~ Over the summer I went to a couple music festivals. One in Maine called Nateva and the other in Bridgeport, CT called Gathering of the Vibes. I saw two of my favorite bands moe., and Furthur (which is a band with Bob Weir and Phil Lesh of The Grateful Dead). It was definitely the highlight of my summer. I try and see as much live music as possible.

~ One thing that I do like about new age media is the fact that you have access to almost anything over the internet. No need for a TV, you have a laptop to watch movies/shows on. One thing I do not like is the exposure that celebrities are given in magazines/TV/internet and how their personal lives are now available for anyone to read about. It’s not that interesting and people become so consumed in it.

~ I see myself in the future traveling and writing professionally. My major here at Champlain is Professional Writing, obviously. I would love to write for a magazine someday (my dream would be in Rolling Stone), even perhaps a novel. I also hope to become involved in a non-profit organization in either South America or India.
