Hello, I am a second year Psych major and Entrepreneurship minor in LSA graduating at the end of the Fall 2026 semester. I am from Metro Detroit and finished my associate’s at a local community college through dual enrollment. I have loved my time here at the university and I would love to chat with you! I apologize for the spotty on campus tour availability during the summer, I will try to take as many as I can while I am on campus! :) I wish I could chat with everyone, so no hard feelings whatsoever!

Describe your college experience

College has been a really great transition for me! I had a difficult second semester of freshman year due to a loss in my family, but I have really found a great community here and enjoyed all of the things to do. It can be easy to get lost in all of the chaos, but finding your people makes the huge campus more comfortable.

Tip for future students

Be true to yourself and stay grounded in your truth! It is natural to grow and evolve, but do not change yourself to fit one mold. You will find your people if you show up authentically.

Favorite class

I really loved ORGSTUDY 495 (Prosocial Leadership) with Dr. Sweetman during my very first semester on campus. It was fun, collaborative, and the professor is incredible! I still keep in touch with my friends I met there.

Career goals

I hope to move to a bigger city (New York City is the dream!) and work in a marketing position.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I would love to grab dinner and hang out with friends after going to a cycling class.
