How long have you worked at the University Michigan program? This will be my 9th summer with Summer Discovery - mostly at Michigan and one summer at UCLA.
Favorite things at Michigan: The sun doesn’t set until about 9:30 pm! Ann Arbor is a great college town with tons of ice cream shops, clothing boutiques, sandwich shops and restaurants, two independent movie theaters all within a quarter mile!

What were you like in High School? I was an average student, really good at math and science and very into art: photography (darkroom) and sculpture. I soon found out I wasn’t that artistic but I loved doing it anyway.
Dream travel location: I’ve always wanted to visit Egypt to see the pyramids and the Sphinx. I would also love to visit distant family in Ireland and Italy.
What is your guilty pleasure TV show? I love me some Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. And anything Kardashian!
Some cool courses at Michigan: Rock & Roll Boot Camp, Golf, Architecture, Sport Management, Advertising, CSI!
What else should we know about you? Music: I’m really into punk/pop punk/alternative music. I love going to concerts so if we can make it happen during the summer – I’m in!
