School year: Senior
Majors: Journalism and Spanish
Hometown: Pewaukee, Wis.
Guilty obsession: Peanut butter. Seriously, I eat that stuff on anything.
Favorite unique or unknown place/thing in Wisconsin: In the fall, I love driving or biking to the top of Holy Hill in Hubertus. The view from the top of the bell towers while the leaves are changing is indescribable and truly reveals the majestic beauty of Wisconsin during that season.
Best childhood memory: Every summer my family would travel "up north" to Minocqua over the fourth of July. We would cram my entire extended family of 20+ into a tiny cabin on this beautiful secluded lake and spend the weekend swimming, fishing, sitting around bonfires and just spending time together. Although the lake was small, our parents still made us wear life jackets until we could swim across the entire lake. When I was 11, I half swam, half back floated, half doggy paddled my way across the lake and finally joined the non-life-jacket-wearing ranks. Swimming was one sport I never got into, so swimming the entire lake was a huge accomplishment for me, and the fact that I didn't have to wear the dorky life jacket anymore made it all the better.
