What would be your dream job?
I sort of have the mentality of a five year old that changes future career ambitions every five minutes. If I watch a cartoon, I want to be an animator, despite my lack of artistic ability. If I make a trucker honk on a road trip, I think it would be fun to be a trucker. Occasionally I want to do communication for non-profits, hence that whole journalism degree thang. So…a job that allows me to do whatever kind of work I want on a daily basis? Super.

Name three items you could not live a balanced life without:
My mom. My bed. Crappy reality television.

What would you like Wisconsin to be known for, besides the Packers, cheese and cows?
Me. Pizza Shuttle. That everyone from Wisconsin does “the mitten” to show where they are from.

Speaking of cheese, what's your favorite kind?
ALL OF IT. Forget defying stereotypes…I am a born and raised Wisconsin girl and I LOVE CHEESE. Muenster, cheddar, colby, brie, feta, gouda, mozzarella, provolone, parmesan…I love cheese. Deal with it.

What's the most bizarre "fact" or legend you've heard about Wisconsin?
CANNULATED COWS! They exist. And they are awesome. They have little windows so you can see inside the rumen (the largest part of the cow’s stomach). They have some at the white barn way down University. I first discovered the wonder of the cannulated cow while trying to find pictures for J202. The knowledge of the coolness that is a cannulated cow is the best gift the journalism school could have given me.  http://photos.news.wisc.edu/view.php?id=745
