Describe yourself in three words:

What do you like most about ABSA? 

 

It really is an organization where you can find everything: professional development, friends, food, volunteering, and more!

 

What is your most memorable ABSA moment? 

 

My most memorable moment was playing Assassins my freshman year. I went into the restroom to take a shower, but I forgot something in my room. My assassin, Elaine, was waiting in the shower stall next to mine, and when I walked out of the bathroom, she shot me! Traumatizing.

 

One interesting fact about yourself: 

 

I’m addicted to Tetris. That’s the only game I really ever played on my Super Nintendo.

 

What is your dream car?

 

The Jaguar XK convertible

 

If you could have any superpower, would would it be?

 

Teleportation

 

If you could bring 3 things to a deserted island, what would they be?

 

The host from Man vs. Wild, a solar-powered computer, and sunscreen

 

 

Get the 411 on Monica from ANDREW...

 

If Monica's name were a verb, it would mean to be rational. e.g. "Dude you seriously need to Monica. You're being incredibly ridiculous."

 

The best thing about Monica is her smile. She has one of those smiles that would be displayed in advertisements for photography studios. You look at that smile and say, "Hey! I'm going to take some photos there so I can be as glamorous as the girl in that ad!" Then you go take your picture and find out that your smile is nowhere close...and end up $50.00 poorer with a stack of photos hiding in your closet. (Not that I've experienced this personally or anything...)
