Describe your college experience
My transition to college was a journey of discovering where I fit in and trying out new things. Penn is a great place to explore new interests and cultivate your current passions. I was able to find friends through clubs and integrated well into the Penn community. I have loved my Penn experience and I got to do everything I planned to and more.
Tip for future students
Don’t limit yourself. Penn pushes us to be more than just students and explore ALL our passions.
Favorite class
Biopsychosocial criminology: a class that tried to answer the question, “are people born to be murders?”, such an amazing class that lead me to my mentor who guided me into research.
Career goals
I am planning to work in marketing and creative services.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Hang out with friends in center city and eat well!
