Describe your college experience

The day I arrived at Tech, I immediately felt at home. My college experience has been nothing short of the best months of my life, as I have found friends and formed relationships that will last a lifetime.

Tip for future students

My biggest tip would be to take step back and enjoy the little things here. The semesters go by so quickly and although you are coming to study, relax and enjoy the moments with your friends!

Favorite class

My favorite classes have been general chemistry 1&2. Even though it was super challenging, I formed such good relationships with my professors and got to really see how much putting in the effort gets you! I loved it so much I'm now a TA for that class!

Career goals

I hope to go to medical school and open up an indoor cycling studio on the side.

Ideal way to spend a free night

An ideal free night would look like getting together with my friends, cooking and eating together, and then wathcing a movie or playing a board game while eating something sweet!
