Loves About Brebeuf
I love that my friend and I baked a vegan cake for one of our sub’s last day in the most recent fall semester, and that was normal (okay, maybe not the vegan part haha). But, it goes to show how Brebeuf is more than receiving an education; it truly is a community.
Future Plans
I’m still waiting to hear back from some colleges, but my plan as of right now is to attend Purdue to get a major in Food and Biological Process Engineering and a minor in Food Science. Food production and particular eating habits account for using up a large majority of the world’s resources, and in this major there’s so many ways in which I can help out the environment to counteract that. :)

Random Fact(s)
- I am in love with ferrets.
- I owned a ferret previously, and now I own a hedgehog named Kiwi.
- I am vegetarian (again!) and dairy free and plan to go vegan once I go to college.
- Just found out I’m a little synesthetic, lol. I just thought everyone saw abstract shapes when they listened to music.
Where would you travel if time and money were not issues?
I want to see the northern lights, or eat pizza in Italy, or spend a day with Buddhist monks, or swim in a hot spring. Haha. So, any place where I can do one of those. I’ve always wanted to go camping in the outback, too.
What is your silliest or most irrational fear?
Other than being terrified of the dark, I’m scared that my eye will get poked out. IDK - just thinking about it freaks me out.
What is something you have learned in the last week?
Thanks to Mrs. Hennessy and Mr. Tague’s guidance, I have learned how to make my own kombucha and take care of a scoby! I was so excited when Mrs. Hennessy brought it in for me that I gave it a tour of the school.
What are some small things that make your day better?
Vegan food. For sure. Or a hug from Sam Krok. His hugs might cure cancer, if I’m going to be honest.
What is your current favorite show or series on TV, Netflix, etc?
I never watch Netflix - like ever. I get jittery if I watch TV by myself, but if I am going to watch, it’s going to be Bachelor(ette) with my mom or a documentary.
Where would you want to be, if you could choose any place, when a zombie apocalypse breaks out?
Eating brains with them! Finally, it’s normalized!
