Describe your college experience
I was very scared at first committing on impulse, but I was able to find a good support system and routine that helped me mature and grow.
Tip for future students
I wish I knew to always have plan B’s. It’s okay to not get a class you needed or not get an A, but learning from it and having backup options allows you to plan ahead.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been Neuroanatomy. It was very enriching in learning how powerful of an organ the brain is. Studying it so in depth peaked my interested.
Career goals
I want to go to PA School and become a Physician Assistant.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I would spend a night with close friends trying new foods or watching a new movie. Doing these activities with close friends really allows me to open up more and build strong relationships.
High school or secondary school
Westminster High School
Favorite spot on campus
I like the study rooms in eighth college. They go as high as 21 floors and you study above the clouds.
