Questions:

Hobbies? Interests? What do you like to do for fun?

I’m a very artistic person and I used to spend a lot of time drawing in high school. I love to read and am a huge fan of horror and fantasy novels, despite not reading as much as I’d like to due to school. Film is also a passion of mine- not only do I love watching films, but also making and acting in movies is something I find a lot of fun.

Describe your sense of style. What kinds of fashion styles do you enjoy?

I’ve always been attracted to the Victorian style. I’m a huge fan of lace, frills, and anything girly. Long bustle skirts and corsets ought to be brought back into style!

What do you think you will take away with you from this experience?

I had a wonderful time and feel extremely honored by being chosen for this experience, no matter what comes of it. It was wonderful to get a chance to actually be involved in an industry that I have always found fascinating, and I will always remember the fantastic people I met and the amazing time I had in New York. I’d love to get the chance to go back and spend more time there someday.
