Lucy Hayhurst
bulletName: Lucy Hayhurst
bulletBio:  Hometown: Columbus, OH (Go Bucks!)
College: University of Dayton
Family: I have a ridiculously close relationship with my mom, and I am my Dad’s youngest (so I’m his little princess). I also have 2 half sisters who are 28 and 33 years old and the eldest is pregnant with my first niece!!! She is due on Thanksgiving and I’m SO excited. My family has been wonderfully supportive of me through undergrad and now my internship so I am very grateful for them.
Interests: Well aside from the obvious answer of food (and pretty much anything involving food), I am a total gym rat. I love to workout, run, hike, weight train, and ZUMBA! I also enjoy yoga and Pilates, which I have been teaching for a couple years. When I’m not cooking, eating or working out, I like to go out with friends and also really like traveling to new places.

bulletWords of Wisdom: Take the application process one step at a time. Don’t limit your options, but be realistic about your internship choices. If you get the chance, I highly recommend living with fellow interns because it’s the best support system you can ask for!
