1. Who was/is your favourite professor? I have three professors who really stand out in my mind, one being from Fashion Merchandising, Janice Hyde. She taught me a few classes and was great. Another is Charlotte Piper, my teacher from second semester marketing. Last but not least, Rudy Feiburger who taught me graphic design. He was super helpful and really wanted everyone to do well. 2. What’s your perfect day like? My perfect day includes chatting with my best friends, having a nap, and going to the gym or for a run … or having a new episode of Californication available to me. 3. Who is your favourite superhero and why? My favorite superhero would have to be Batman, my reasons being a) he drives a sweet car and fights crime, and b) George Clooney and Christian Bale — the best looking men alive — play Batman in a few of the movies. 4. What’s a service or event the FSU does that isn’t well-known? The Shinerama fundraiser! We need more than just residence students to get involved. Also there is a new fundraiser we’re bringing to Fanshawe this year, The Terry Fox Run! That will take place on September 18. 5. If someone forced you to get a tattoo, what would it be and why? Three daisies, and the lyrics “Here comes the sun” from my favorite Beatles song. This is because I’m actually getting that tattoo! And it’s for my parents who I am very close with.
