Describe your college experience

Coming to CU Boulder was a big adjustment at first, but it quickly started to feel like home. I've met amazing people, gotten involved on campus, and really enjoyed exploring everything Boulder has to offer while growing both academically and personally.

Tip for future students

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there during your first few weeks. Go to campus events, talk to people in your classes, and try new things even if they're outside your comfort zone. Everyone is looking to make friends, and getting involved early makes a huge difference.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been Cognitive Psychology because it helped me understand how our brains process information, make decisions, and form memories. It challenged me to think differently and made me even more interested in psychology.

Career goals

After college, I hope to build a career where I can make a positive impact on people's lives. I'm still exploring different areas of psychology, weather I involve my fine arts minor, or I pursue higher education, but I'm excited to gain experience and find the path that's the best fit for me.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal free night is grabbing dinner on the hill with friends, and going on a hike at Chautauqua while admiring Boulders scenic view of the flatirons and sunset. I also love exploring new coffee shops and walking around Pearl Street.
