Where are you from?

Harrington Park, NJ

What do you do for Pitt Tonight?

Marketing is fun because we do all kinds of stuff like making sure you're stepping on our flyers in the stairwells and keeping you in the right line when you come see a live show.

Who is your favorite late night personality? Why?

Seth Myers. SNL is my favorite show ever so it was like a proud mom moment when he got his own show. And I'm secretly hoping Bill Hader will sneak on set to do a Stefan bit.

What is the funniest thing you've seen on Pitt's campus?

A mom that went to class with her daughter on the first day of freshman year. Whatever you think of helicopter parenting, that's just taking it too far.

What are your hopes for Pitt Tonight?

I hope that Pitt Tonight can continue to grow its audience (beyond what is now mostly our moms) and keep the quality of the work that's been done. We have an incredibly well-rounded staff and I can't wait to see what this year brings.

Market or Perch?

Perch on Thanksgiving for sure but Market for the other 99% of the year.

Sorrento's or Antoon's?

O Fries.
