I am a senior at University of Washington majoring in Communication. I was born and raised in Seattle and went to a private, Catholic, all girls high school. Throughout high school I worked in summer camps and lived the real life version of “Wet Hot American Summer”. The summer craziness made me realize that I needed to break away from small schools for college, so I ended up at the UW. I was originally supposed to stay only for freshman while I decided on where I really wanted to go to school, in Paris or in the United States. Once I was started school though, I absolutely loved the UW and knew I wouldn’t be able to leave! My passions in life are dance, which I have been doing in some form or another for my entire life, cheerleading, and, of course, the Washington Huskies. I am one of the biggest Husky fans out there and live for the football season (and we WILL finally have a good season!). I love to travel and spent the summer after high school graduation traveling through France with family and friends. I went back to Paris and Nice last summer on my own and had so much fun meeting new people and experiencing the culture on my terms. Next up on my travel schedule is London in October for the San Diego Chargers vs. New Orleans Saints game (Go Chargers!). I submitted my pictures for consideration for the Tempe12 calendar at the very last minute and never thought that such an amazing opportunity present itself to me. I am so honored and excited to have been chosen to represent the University of Washington and promise to make my Huskies proud! This will be my first trip to Vegas and I couldn’t ask for a more perfect week. I can’t wait to shoot in The Palms and to meet all of the other girls! I know we will have an incredible time and get some great shots! Whatever happens in Vegas… |
