Describe your college experience

I had a rough transition but eventually I began loving CU. I have loved going to all the social events as well as hanging out at the rec center to workout or climb as well as running with my friends in a small group. The community has been super inviting and I haven’t had much trouble making friends which has been great for me.

Tip for future students

Go to social events, it’s where you’ll meet lots of friends. Do all of the study events and find study groups, it’s hard to keep yourself motivated when you’re alone but it’s so nice to have others motivate you.

Favorite class

Chemistry because I have always loved chemistry. I find it so interesting how things work on a microscopic level.

Career goals

I want to work in biotechnology or tissue manufacturing. I plan to continue living in Colorado.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is probably a nice dinner with my friends, and then going climbing together, followed by a nice night in watching a show and scrolling Pinterest.

High school or secondary school

Cheyenne Mountain High School

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is the seec on east campus. The food on east campus is the best, and there’s lots of spots to study or just hang out with friends.

Meeting point

Dalton Trumbo Fountain Court on the University of Colorado Boulder Campus
