What is your hometown?
Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

Where are you attending college and what is your major? 
I attend St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. I am studying Sociology and Anthropology.

What excited you about interning with Make-A-Wish Minnesota?
Having the opportunity to work with a wonderful organization that supports our community, seeing and hearing from families about their wish experiences and helping grant wishes for amazing kids!

If you could pick one job to do forever (and be guaranteed all the money you need), what job would it be?
That’s hard to answer! I’m not totally sure what I would like to do but probably something that supports children and/or young people.

If you could be a Disney® character, who would you be and why?
I would love to be one of Tinker Bell’s fairy friends in Pixie Hollow! I loved some of the Tinker Bell movies when I was younger.

If you were granted a wish, what would it be?
I would love to go on a trip to Madagascar and see lemurs!

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?
I love artichokes on pizza!
