Favorite Halloween candy? Reese's, any Reese's product, but the original is the best. Your best ever Halloween costume and how old were you? In preschool, I dressed up as Mavis from Thomas the Train. Favorite Holiday and why? Thanksgiving. It's the food. We love traditional Thanksgiving food at my house and Filipino food like Lumpia and Pancit, so it's like my two favorite cultures coming together. What's your opinion on dressing up pets on holidays? As long as they're comfortable. I have a border collie corgi and sometimes I dress him up. Now more serious topics. What are you studying? International Affairs and Geography What do you hope to do in the future? Hopefully work for an NGO focused on climate change. You went to an IB high school in the Netherlands. What was that like compared to your typical American peers? What I really enjoyed was that I got to pursue my passions early, like Global Politics. It was an international boarding school so I got to live with and grow up with people from all over the world, so I think it broadened my horizons in terms of culture and experiences. What's the best thing about living in the DMV? The Mall and Rock Creek Park. I love just walking along the Mall, it's just a few blocks away and it's so spacious and open. Rock Creek is great because it seems like you're deep in the heart of nature even while you are in the middle of the city.
