1. Why did you run for this council position?
I ran for ISIP again because I still want to give back to the organization that gave so much to me my first year.
2. What does OYFA mean to you?
OYFA means having someone to study or eat with at any time. It means late nights and lots of talking about everything and nothing. It's a place where I've been able to grow and to give back as a leader.
3. Why did you decide to go to UVA for college?
I chose UVA because I fell in love with the grounds when I first visited as a sophomore in high school. My dad insisted that out of all of the colleges we visited, it was the right fit for me, and I think he's right. Every time I stroll by the Lawn, I feel like there's no where I'd rather be than here. I guess I just have to thank admissions for agreeing with my dad because I don't know where else I'd rather be than UVA.
4. If there was a movie made about your life, who would you want to play you and why?
I've always said that Ellen Page ought to play me in a movie. I like to think we have the same sense of humor and sarcasm.

1. Why did you run for this council position?
I love teaching and learning about my heritage. ISIP is perfect for spreading awareness and knowledge of Philippine culture.
2. What does OYFA mean to you?
Essentially, OYFA means support. OYFA is a group of diverse, talented, and passionate people. Through this CIO, I have found some of my closest friends and favorite college memories. OYFA has been late night study groups with friends, picnics on the lawn, a shoulder to lean on during the Good Ol' Song, and never-ending conversations at the Whiskey Jar.
3. Why did you decide to go to UVA for college?
UVA offers wonderful scholarship opportunities and a wonderful ivy league school education for a public school price.
4. If there was a movie made about your life, who would you want to play you and why?
I would be Penelope from The Brother's Bloom. In the movie she is going out to the world to be a part of an adventure, and eventually creates her own.
