MTV.com Member Profile
1. What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about helping people, making a difference. This is why I want to be a doctor. I get inspired by my family and by our lifestyle. My passion in life lies in saving lives!

2. Describe this past semester in 3 words.
Unique, stressful, and a learning experience. Sorry, I don't know how to put that last one in one word.

3. Why did you choose to pledge Zeta Sigma Phi?
I chose to pledge Zeta Sigma Phi because I heard they were a great group of girls who you can have tons of fun with and learn a lot from. Melissa, who first told me about the sorority, told me that it was a great way to network and get help in school from, since many of them have the same major that I do.

4. What was your first thought when you realized you were going to be on camera?
I was ecstatic!!!! I thought it would be fun and an opportunity of a lifetime.

5. Before you pledged the sorority, how many people had you lived with at one time?
Before pledging, I had only lived with my one roommate who left the school really early, so I technically never really had a roommate. Other than my brother, I had never really roomed with anyone else for that long.

6. What moment from this past semester do you think will be the most painful for you to watch on TV?
I think the most painful thing for me to watch is myself acting like a little bitch. I think those girls really brought out the worst in me, all I did was want to cry and get even with them. I was such a pussy now that I think about it. I hated the way everyone treated me and I never had the guts to say anything. I just want to crawl in a hole and shoot myself on account of all of that. I don't know how I will handle myself watching all of that and reliving it.

7. What CDs are you listening to right now and what's your all-time favorite?
I think my all-time favorite CD is between Pure Moods and Pink, Sympathique. Which are two of only four CDs that I own. I love them because I don't hear that kind of music on the radio. Even though I love rock, punk, hip-hop, and ska, I can listen to them on the radio, I can't listen to this kind of music.

8. What do you find attractive?
If you are talking about a guy, I think what I find attractive is just someone who is sweet, funny, smart and someone who likes to make a difference and help others. I really like that in a guy. If they have that, they can really turn me on. I am not much into looks. Of course cute guys are desirable, but as long as they are all of the above, I will settle. Oh, and they have to be fun, I don't like to be bored. They also have to have nice nipples and a big you-know-what. EUWW! Not that, you're nasty!!!! I meant a big wallet. ;)

9. When the semester started, were you dating anyone?
When the semester started I was not dating anyone, and I am still lonely and single. But, I am not all that disappointed because I do not think I have time to be in a relationship.

10. What is the one thing you want people to know about you after watching the show?
Well, I would have liked people to think of me as someone cool and fun to be around, but the way I acted I don't think anyone will have that idea of me. Pledging brought out the worst in me. I just hope no one will think that this is the way I am on a regular basis, I am usually fun and nice, HONEST!

11. What was the best/most memorable moment for you this semester?
The best moment has to be when pledging was finally over and done with. Pledging wasn't exactly all that fun because of the pledges, and sometimes because of the Actives, but I understand why THEY had to be like that, I'm not sure about the pledges. I think that if everyone would have been more open minded and not so damn ass sensitive, pledging would have been a blast! But people got pissed when only a dirty look was directed their way. No one was able to take anything, they were too sensitive. They didn't understand it was a GIVE and take situation, they only wanted to take.

12. What is the most important lesson you learned during this past semester? What would you do differently if you could do it over?
I guess I learned how much of a pussy and a bitch I could be. If I could do it all over I would try to be much nicer to everyone and say what I felt. Sometimes I felt like crap and didn't say anything because I was scared of getting myself in deep sh*t. But there were so many things that I hated. I hated the fact that the Actives were not strict and did not go through with what they said. I hated the fact that some pledges could get away with anything, when Monica and I worked our ass off. I also learned to not be so stubborn and that everyone is different.

13. If you had the chance to hang out with one actor or musician, who would it be?
Well, I am not really all that crazy about ANY actor or musician. I have to admit I do like some actors and some musicians but not enough to want to hang out with them. I would only do it if I knew that I could learn something really valuable from them. They are just regular people like us who come out on TV or the radio, they are not all that special.

14. Which night sounds like more fun: Hanging out with a hot guy or going out with your girl friends?
I would have to say, hanging out with my girl friends!!!! This is because with my girls I could go wild and REALLY PARTY HARD!!! With a boy, I would have to keep only him company and stay with him the whole night, I know I wouldn't really be able to let loose.

15. If you could choose a theme song for this past semester, what would it be?
Well, I don't really have a theme song, but I guess if I could choose a song for the show or something I would pick "Ignition" by R. Kelly, or "Big Butts" by Run DMC. This is because Monica and I loved these songs, we used to always sing them in the car.

16. Who is the messiest pledge/sister? Who's the neat freak?
I think from everyone, I was the messiest pledge. I am not really sure about everyone else, but I knew I was pretty messy. That was just because cleaning was the last thing on my mind, from everything that was going on, I really didn't have time to clean and be all damn tidy and sh*t.

17. What is the worst thing you've witnessed in the pledge house/sorority house?
Well, the grossest thing I guess was out bathroom. It was filthy. Especially when the toilette got clogged. (I know I clogged it because I was using napkins to instead of toilette paper--but only because we did not have any!) But just for the record, I DID NOT TAKE A SH*T! That must have been Carmen who needed to use the bathroom right after me.

18. Complete the following sentences:

Frat boys are:
usually white boys who like to get wild.

Sorority girls are:
usually conceited white girls that like to get wild as well. (But both of these statements are general statements, I have met some sorority girls and frat boys who are WAY ABOVE all of this, and are REALLY cool to hang out with!)

19. If you were president of Zeta Sigma Phi, what would you do?
I guess that if I were president I would be exactly like Jen, our current president because from what I see, I think she is a really good president. I am not sure what goes on in the background because I am only a pledge, but I think she is great. She is really very smart and strong.

20. What goals have you set for yourself for after college?
My goal after college is to go to Medical School. I am very concerned about the future, because getting into Medical is not a walk in the park, and this is what I live for. I live to help others, it is the only thing that makes me happy. I cannot imagine taking on any other professions, although I am also sort of fond of kids. I was thinking that if I did not get into Medical School, I would first be a teacher and make a difference in out future and then try again and again for Medical School until I get in, if not that I would pursue physical therapy. Whatever shall happen though, I am ready to take it on and live life to its fullest!!!!!

Bonus Question:

Do you have any nicknames?
I don't have any nicknames, or at least I think I don't. I am not sure if anyone has given me any nicknames that I am unaware of.
