Why intern at HRC?
HRC focuses on the issues that I care about most. It’s such a wonderful place and there are great opportunities for networking. The people are really nice and I feel like I’m getting a jump on my career.
What other issues interest you besides LGBT equality?
I’m interested in the economy. I’m very concerned about where I’m going to be in five years. Is there going to be a job for me? Are there going to be jobs for people my age?
What do you do when you’re not out being an activist?
When I’m not out being an activist, I’m mostly playing sports. I love basketball, football, softball and soccer. I also coach a basketball team.
What was the last song you downloaded?
The last song I downloaded was from the most recent episode of Glee. The theme of the episode was Funk.
What upcoming events are you most excited about?
I’m most excited about Pride, which is coming up in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to go to the parade and the festival.
Who would you like to have dinner with?
I would love to have dinner with Elvis Presley. He is my favorite singer. I love his voice. I love his style, and he’s old-school.
What advice would you give to LGBT students?
Be yourself. Don’t be afraid to be open about who you are and what you represent. Live life and have fun!
