While Thomas is focused on her budding career — and her final year of college — she did share what she looks for in a potential romantic partner.

“I need a man that’s taller than six foot,” she told Nayersina. “I’d like a tall man in my life [since] I’m a tall girl. I need someone who is respectful and I think that’s honestly one of the biggest turnoffs for me — when a man isn’t respectful.”
