Describe your college experience
At first, I was nervous as I was an out of state student and knew no one at NC State, but I put myself out there which helped me to make friends and build a support system. The workload was heavy, but over time I learned how to manage my time and stay organized. One of the best parts of my college experience so far was studying abroad last semester. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, helped me grow as a person, and gave me a new perspective on the world.
Tip for future students
Attend office hours, get involved/put yourself out there, don’t worry too much your GPA, and take care of yourself
Favorite class
Gen Chem 1 - I really enjoyed the professor and structure of the class.
Career goals
I hope to attend medical school.
