Describe your college experience

My transition was relatively smooth and even with roommate troubles, I am confident that I made the right decision coming to Virginia Tech.

Tip for future students

Do not be afraid to put yourself out there and meet as many people as you can! Start off the semester strong and remember the reason you are at school, to learn!

Favorite class

Organic Chemistry - This class is notoriously difficult, but if you put in the effort, it is extremely rewarding!

Career goals

I am thinking of becoming a medical dosimetrist, but am open to anything!

Ideal way to spend a free night

Cook a homemade meal and watch a movie in bed or with my roommate.
