Describe your college experience
I had a hard time first-year, especially with making friends and I didn't have a good time, but second-year I really pushed myself to start doing more things, going to more clubs, and I really found a great group of people that I have connection with.
Tip for future students
Be open to trying new things and to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. That's how you might learn something new about yourself.
Favorite class
In Fall of 2024, I took a Caribbean science fiction class. It was an english class that both taught me more about a part of the world I was not as familiar with and exposed me to some amazing books.
Career goals
I am hoping to go to medical school to gain my MD!
Ideal way to spend a free night
Hanging out with my friends and playing board games.
