Tell Us About Yourself(ie): Ashley Rickards

The Awkward star answers our burning questions and indulges us in a series of selfies taken just for us!

After toying with the hearts of Team Jake and Team Matty supporters for two seasons on MTV's Awkward, Jenna Hamilton seems to be settling into her junior year — and her relationship with Matty — while actress Ashley Rickards is settling into being one of TV's brightest young stars. With the show's third season having premiered this week, BuzzFeed caught up with the super-smart actress —seriously, she's a member of MENSA — and asked her to get personal by sharing some selfies and answering some hard-hitting questions, like what she's searching for on Google and, most importantly, whether she's a fan of puppies or kittens. Here's what she had to say.
