Describe your college experience

I've had an amazing and extensive college experience so far. From making new friends and playing football and spike ball on the main quad, to engaging in fun sightseeing and taking in the nightlife of the bustling city with my friends. This college is truly a place I belong and call home.

Tip for future students

I wish I'd known that it would all work out, and that I didn't need to stress about anything.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been a General education class that I took last-minute. I wasn't expecting much but American Indian Studies really taught me a lot about history and helped me connect with students with similar interests. By the end, we as a class felt like family and we grew and we learned together for a whole semester.

Career goals

Post graduation, my goals include entrepreneurship and exploring the business world through Financial Analyst positions. This year, I hope to secure an internship with a banking institution and eventually land a return offer at a workplace I'd truly love.

Ideal way to spend a free night

The best way I'd spend a free night is sports. Whether it be watching football with my friends, or going on the football field and running up a quick game. If I'm not feeling sports, I'd head on down to Green Street and clear my mind with some food.
