Q: Best advice you have received?

Q: Name someone (living) you would want to switch places with for a day?
A: Rihanna. In every picture, you see her living her best life, whether she's on her beachfront home in Barbados or in the front row of a fashion show in New York. She is incredibly intelligent and makes it a priority to make the world a better place. She is unapologetic about the way she loves herself and the skin that she's in.

Q: Favorite Stanford memory?
A: Receiving a 9.925 in floor exercise at my first college meet.

Q: Future plans?
A: I want to help people. If I can be a positive influence in someone's life and remind them that they are worthy and vital to society, then I would have done my job as a human being.
