Kathy Ruiz can be described in two words: creative and ambitious.
Kathy, a student at the University of Central Florida, will “never half-ass anything.” She is the president of UCF’s Pride Student Association, the editor-in-chief and art director of QCF magazine and is currently a graphic design intern for the organization, QLatinx.
In her spare time, Kathy enjoys going to ladies night on most Saturdays at Southern Nights in Orlando.
“That’s probably my favorite community event,” she says with a laugh.
Kathy’s ideal date is “definitely someone who is very determined, has a goal that they’re working toward and is very ambitious and driven.” She adds that being ambitious and determined are “the sexiest qualities anyone can have.”
She says that a person who is creative would also be a huge plus. Kathy says that when she is looking for a potential date, she tends to be more attracted to feminine men and masculine women.
“That whole androgyny circle is where I like to reside,” she says.
Kathy says that even if she doesn’t get any dates from being a part of this, she thinks it will still be good for her. “I thought at least it gets my portfolio out there,” she adds, “and if it leads to me meeting a couple of cute and interesting people, all the better.”
