Annie's Bio

Age: 23
Hometown: Dublin, OH

Reaction to finding out you are the next CW Star:
I was surprised, cried and there was lots of screaming and jumping!! I celebrated with my family that night. After the announcement during Vampire Diaries my neighbors Paula & Mark came over and lit off fireworks in my court! (And were talking the GOOD kind) It was the perfect day!

Where did you go to school / where do you work:
I graduated in 2009 from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. I loved living in Athens and enjoyed every minute of my four years in college! Before my CW Stardom, I worked three jobs! I worked at Jeni's Ice Cream in Dublin, worked as a Production Assistant/Intern at Mills James Productions for the Ohio Lottery Cash Explosion game show AND was a Temporary Legal Assistant for OhioHealth.

Siblings:
I have two brothers, Joe, who is 2 years older than me and Dan who is 3 years younger. My older brother currently lives in Warner Robins, GA with his fiancée Mia. They will be getting married in July here in Columbus. My younger brother is currently a sophomore at Ohio State majoring in English. He is little celeb himself, and has gotten into a little acting. When we both grow up we hope to be the next Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal!!

Favorite Food:
Definitely my Grandmothers homemade Pierogies! But I also have a BIG sweet tooth so I love anything chocolate!!

Obsessions:
Music & Movies, Leopard Print ANYTHING, Elephants (I just love them!!) and Shopping! I also can't live without my Burt's Bees Chapstick!

Favorite Movie:
Forest Gump, Love Actually, Goonies, The Departed and Sex and the City….to name a few.

Favorite Celebrity:
Jennifer Aniston! I also love Andy Samberg and Chase Crawford and hope to marry either in the future. (Hey, a girl can dream!)

Favorite Music:
Lady Gaga, Beyonce, John Mayer, Anything 80s. I basically love anything I can sing in the car to.... If you ever see my driving I probably will be jamming out!

The book you just couldn’t put down:
Twilight! Especially the 4th Book! Also Chelsea Handlers “Are You There God? It’s Me Vodka”

Favorite Local Hotspot:
I love Callahans, Dublin Village Tavern and Bar Louie!

Favorite CW Show:
Gossip Girl! I love the drama of course, but also the fashion and music!

One of your biggest life lessons:
My dad surviving cancer, it definitely taught me to appreciate every day and every person in my life.

One thing you want to accomplish this year:
I would love to get more involved in the Community! I love Columbus! Not only do I want to attend more events but also get more involved with more charitable organizations.

Where do you see yourself after The CW:
My dream would be to end up in Los Angeles working for E! News. I would love to be a correspondent for them and work the red carpet! So hopefully after my year rein I can slowly inch towards that dream.

Finish this statement:
If I could do anything right now I would…. Be doing exactly what I am doing! This is a dream come true and I wouldn't trade it for anything.... well maybe I could be planning one of the weddings to one of the gentlemen listed above!!
