Describe your college experience

When I first got to college, it was definitely an adjustment. It's weird being away from home and being in a brand new environment where you not only have to go to classes, but also learn how to live on your own! Everyone definitely finds their way, though, as I did. I've found amazing friends and organizations that keep my busy and I'm loving my classes!

Tip for future students

Take it day by day! It may seem like college isn't "clicking" for you, but keep trying new things & immersing yourself in new experiences, and you'll find your thing :)

Favorite class

I loved MIST 2090 because my professor truly cared about us and taught us useful Excel functions that help me in my everyday life now!

Career goals

I'd love to do something in corporate finance & live a city-life for a bit!

Ideal way to spend a free night

I am open to everything. Relaxing with a good book​/​movie in my apartment for a chill night is amazing, but it's also fun to go out with friends for dinner​/​bowling!
