April Peterson Photography

Zodiac: Taurus 

Birthday: April 26, 1990 

Favorite color: none, but I am pretty obsessed with pink right now.

Favorite food: I’ll eat pretty much everything except anchovies and black olives (unless they’re on pizza).

If I could be any fictional character, I would be Indiana Jones. No hesitations.

The first album I purchased was …Baby One More Time by Brittany Spears.

Favorite activities outside of work: I love cooking, adventuring, researching, eating, snacking, going out to eat.

Fun fact: I have a deep passion for 80s action films.

Where’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been? At a family friend’s house looking over the Puget  Sound on Fox Island.

What paper have you written that you’re most proud of? two papers: one based on human desire and another titled “The Pleasure in Looking within Western Representation of Normativity”

Who is the funniest person you know? That’s a 4 way tie between my sisters, my mom, and my fiancé 

What’s your favorite family tradition? Party decorations can never be too elaborate
