What is your career goal? University professor and professional boxer.
When I'm 50, I will be a finance professor at a university in the United States, a business owner and a former world champion boxer.
When you have 30 minutes of free time, how do you pass the time? Ilove spending time outdoors enjoying some fresh air and the sun, hanging out with my boyfriend or watching some good boxing videos and matches on YouTube.
What's your quote to live by? “Oh, the places you’ll go!” from Dr. Seuss.
Where is your favorite view in West Virginia? West Virginia is beautiful! I don’t think I have a favorite view in particular. I love the scenery and drive to Seneca Caverns, but every time I drive to a new place there is always a new view that catches my attention. However, in Morgantown there is a cool spot at the Core Arboretum. It feels like being in the woods far from everything else… I really like it.
Favorite Morgantown restaurant? When Maxwell’s was open it was definitely my favorite restaurant! Now I would say the best restaurant is Café Bacchus. But for a late-night meal… definitely Eat’n Park (even though it should be called Park’n Eat!).
Favorite movie? "UP."
Favorite song of all time? “I ragazzi sono in giro” by Luciano Ligabue.
Fictional character who is most like you? Not sure.
If you could only visit one more place on campus, where would you go? Get on the roof of the downtown library to overlook the city and the river.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? First thought is Hawaii.
If you were to title your own autobiography, what would it be? Jennifer Moreale: They said it couldn’t be done, but she did it.
What couldn’t you live without? Love and boxing.
Most valuable skill you have? I can relate well with people, and I’m strong.
Person you’ve met during your time here who has had the biggest impact on you? John Mouser, my boyfriend and strength coach.
What about any hidden talents? I don’t think I have a hidden talent. Plus, why hide it?

Worst thing about college life? You are constantly broke. Really, constantly.
How has WVU changed you? It helped me become and find my true self.
What do you look forward to most as an alum? The great memories, and hopefully a decent paycheck.
