Describe your college experience

It’s been amazing. College is hard at times but Boulder has an amazing community with lots of support and opportunities to grow as a student, and emerge into adulthood. Every time I needed help, there were so many doors open to me, and it truly felt as if I had found my place in the world.

Tip for future students

Freshmen living in dorms: Make sure to keep in mind that it will be loud, and you have to share common spaces. It’s the whole experience, but if you need a calmer space, maybe try for a single room, and have white noise machine and noise canceling headphones! They’re definitely worth it if you’re not looking for too much craziness. Otherwise, it’ll be as much fun as you want it to be. Either way, I can guarantee you will find your people, and your place in this school. Boulder is welcoming to everyone!

Favorite class

Social Psychology with Dr. King. Never skipped a class. He’s amazing! Makes class super engaging and cares so much about his students

Career goals

I hope to go to med school and become a neurologist one day

Ideal way to spend a free night

Honestly… I love to spend time with my dogs! The ideal way to spend a free night is make some yummy dinner, put on a movie, and hang out at home! :)
