Meet Katie and Melissa, the Sex Out Loud Volunteers of the Month!

Katie:

Favorite hang-out spot in Madison?
My favorite spot is the area surrounding (and partly on top) of Van Vleck at night. It’s so peaceful because there’s hardly anyone around and there’s a nice view; overall it’s a good thinking spot, somewhere to get away to.

What do you want to want to be when you grow up?

First and foremost I want to be a small animal vet, but if that doesn’t turn out I’ll probably want to do something in animal genetics.

Best book/movie/song you’ve ever read/seen/heard?
One of my favorite books of all time is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I first read it my freshmen year of high school and something about it just stuck with me. It’s an easy read and its fun, but it also has a serious side.
 Favorite method of expression?
Drawing is my favorite, but I love anything artsy. I may not be good at a whole lot, but I love trying out different mediums and seeing what result I get. I have to try everything at least once.

What do you like most about Sex Out Loud?

I love the open, sex-positive environment. It’s nice to have somewhere to go and not have to feel awkward if I want to explore new sexual topic. Also, I love the programs, they’re fun and educational.
