Hi, I'm Steven! I'm a rising junior studying Chemistry at UIUC, and I also work as a Student Admissions Representative giving official campus tours — so I know this place inside and out, from the best study spots to what dorm life is actually like. I'm also a section leader in the Marching Illini, so I can tell you all about game days too. When I'm not doing those things, I love to lift, train martial arts, and hang out with my friends. Looking forward to showing you around!

Describe your college experience

My college experience has been nothing less of incredible. I love the University of Illinois, and while the transition from high school to college was a lot to take in, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I've met so many incredible people here and had so many great opportunities. Besides the cold winters, I have nothing to complain about.

Tip for future students

Relax a little bit! Everything will play out alright, and you just have to give it a little time. Take everything in, and it's going to be great!

Favorite class

HK203 - Intro to Health Technology! It helped me build better habits, dabble in independent research, and gain a better sense of my own personal health.

Career goals

Go to dental school!

Ideal way to spend a free night

Go out to see my friends, come back, DoorDash Taco Bell, and watch a movie

High school or secondary school

Mahomet-Seymour High School

Favorite spot on campus

Lincoln Hall Courtyard. Great place to enjoy the nature while still having walls around you! It's quiet, it's right on the quad, and just an awesome environment to study and hang out.
