Describe your college experience

My transition to college was intimidating as most peoples are. I only knew one other person coming to this school and I had all random roomates in my dorm. My experience has been incredible and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I have learned so much about life and have improved myself vastly.

Tip for future students

The best advice I think I can give now is to imagine yourself in other peoples shoes. Say hi, introduce, and connect with as many people as you can because you never know where freindships can take you.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been WRIT107EP: Writing for Environmental Professions. This class was interactive, relatable to the real world, and I learned so much about becoming a better writer.

Career goals

I hope to travel and work abroad before settling into a career in non-profit work.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Hanging out with friends or watching a movie.
