Describe your college experience
My transition to college was definitely an adjustment, but it helped me become more independent and confident. So far, I’ve been able to explore my interests in journalism and public relations, meet new people, get involved on campus, and learn more about the career I want to pursue.
Tip for future students
My biggest advice is to get involved and put yourself out there, even if it feels intimidating at first. College goes by fast, so take advantage of opportunities, meet new people, and don’t be afraid to try new things or change your mind about what you want to do.
Favorite class
Writing for Media - I’ve enjoyed learning how to write for different audiences, develop strong story ideas, and communicate information clearly. It also connects directly to my interests in journalism and public relations.
Career goals
After college, I hope to pursue a career in journalism or public relations, ideally within the fashion, beauty, or entertainment industry. I would love a career that combines writing, media, creativity, and my interest in fashion and pop culture.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal free night would be going out to dinner with my friends, getting dressed up, and doing something fun together. I also love a chill night watching a movie or show and just relaxing.

Favorite spot on campus
My favorite spot on campus is College Avenue because there is always something going on and it feels like the center of student life. I love being around the energy of campus and seeing friends while walking to class or grabbing food.
