Q: Tell us some college fun facts.
A: I stayed at school one summer to play Dorothy in the local art council’s production of The Wizard of Oz. The director decided that Dorothy’s costume should include a harness so that she could be lifted up into the tornado.
Please see photo evidence – I was not a graceful Dorothy-in-tornado. What are my arms doing? It’s unclear.

A: I made some pop music! It was one of my goals a few years ago. You can find me on most streaming services by searching “Jaye Devine.”
Q: What do you do on the weekends/in your free time?
A: My favorite ways to spend free time are writing/playing music, and reading.
Q: Any fun projects happening at home?
A: We’ve been trying to get Larry (our cat) to go for walks outside, but he is firmly against it.
Q: What is our favorite place in the world?
A: Our family’s cottage on Lake Huron. It was built around 1900. It features a dusty old bookshelf, some excellent reading spots, and a Victrola. It’s the most peaceful place I know.
