Where does The Clipper fit into your long-term goals?
I eventually want to become a journalist so The Clipper is preparing me for my future career.

What are you doing when you aren’t at The Clipper?
When I’m not at The Clipper, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family and making coffee at the stand I work at! I also have two dogs so they keep me busy as well.

If you ruled the world, what would you change on day one?

What is something you think everyone should do at least once?
Ride an elephant in Thailand! Sounds pretty crazy right? I traveled to Thailand 3 years ago and riding the elephants (bare-back) was an experience I’ll never forget. They are such beautiful animals and it was a once in a lifetime experience.

Apple Air Pods!! It makes no sense to me to spend almost $200 for a pair of headphones.
