Describe your college experience
Transitioning to college living was definitely a challenge for me at first but once I got to talk to people about what worked best for them in terms of schedule and social activity, I really settled in and have been loving my time here.
Tip for future students
Never be afraid to say yes to people, you never know where those experiences will lead.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been my MUS 242/342 class which we learned how to be tech-conscious music teachers for adolescent students and got to travel to local middle schools and teach in classroms.
Career goals
To teach music in public schools and maybe move up to an educational administration role.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal night is definitely hanging out with my friends and then going out on Green Street.
