Describe your college experience
Starting college was definitely an adjustment, but it didn't take long for SMU to feel like home. I've loved meeting people, getting involved, and taking advantage of opportunities both on and off campus. It's been an experience thats helped me grow in so many ways.
Tip for future students
My biggest piece of advice is to be curious. Ask questions, explore campus, and take advantage of opportunities. You never know where one conversation or experience might lead.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been Rhetoric and Deliberation for Corporate Communication because it challenged me to think creatively while pushing me outside my comfort zone. The professor genuinely cared about helping us learn and encouraged thoughtful discussions, which made every class engaging.
Career goals
After college, I hope to build a career where i can continue learning, take on new challenges, and make a meaningful impact. I'm excited to gain real-world experience while building a fulfilling life both personally and professionally.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal free night is spending time with my friends. Cooking dinner together, watching a movie, playing games, and just laughing. For me, it's all about memories with the people I care about.
High school or secondary school
Notre Dame High School, Sherman Oaks, CA
Favorite spot on campus
My favorite place is the study rooms in Fondren Library because they've become a place where I've made so many memories with friends while studying. I also love walking from Doak Plaza to the Mustang statue since it reminds me of my freshman year.
Meeting point
