Describe your college experience
I came from a smaller private school, where many people did not go to UIUC. From there, I had to reach out and meet new people from the first day on campus. I've met so many amazing people and have had an amazing college experience, meeting my best friends and learning so much along the way.
Tip for future students
Be open to meeting as many new people as possible. It can be intimidating at first, but you can meet so many amazing and like-minded people, and all it takes is a simple smile and hello.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been my BUS301 class, where I had the opportunity to work with a team, helping a business increase interaction. I gained real world experience and was able to meet amazing people along the way.
Career goals
I am hoping to continue down my career in Product Management and eventually go back to school to get my MBA.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I love hanging out with my friends and roommates, and we love to walk around campus trying out new resteraunts.
