FAVORITE PART OF CAL GAME DAY: My favorite part of Cal game day is watching how excited the student section gets after our team makes a great play. Seeing them so pumped up makes me proud to to be a Bear!

FAVORITE CAL TRADITION: I love when Cal Fans start the "take off the red shirt" chant to the single person wearing red in the Cal section. We can't let anyone get away with representing Stanford in Bear Territory!

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN BERKELEY IS ... WHY? The best restaurant in Berkeley is Cheeseboard! They serve one type of vegetarian pizza each day using fresh, organic and locally grown ingredients. I've never had a slice of pizza there that I haven't loved!

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST EXPERIENCE AT CAL? Meeting hundreds of inspirational, driven, and exciting people, everywhere that I go. I can not think of a community that I would rather have a lifelong association with other than Cal.

MOST INFLUENTIAL TEACHER: Bill Lemei. Mr. Lemei not only taught me all about physics, but he also inspired me to be the best person possible through the many life lessons inserted throughout his lectures. He sparked a desire in me to never give up on my dreams for which I will forever be thankful.

FAVORITE QUOTE: "You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you." -Joseph Campbell

WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 10 YEARS? In 10 years, I hope to be settled in a successful career in the field of economic consulting, while teaching reformer Pilates in the evenings and on the weekends at a nearby studio. I also hope at this point to be happily married and starting a family of my own.
