Describe your college experience

My transition to UW had its ups and downs, but I’ve grown a lot academically and personally. I learned how to balance a busy schedule, build community in a big school, and find spaces on campus that feel like home. UW has given me stability, opportunities, and a chance to explore who I want to become.

Tip for future students

Don’t try to fit into every space find the ones that feel right for you. UW is huge, but once you discover your people, your routines, and your favorite corners of campus, it becomes a place where you can really thrive.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been COM 220 because it pushed me to grow as a public speaker and communicator. It helped me build confidence, learn how to structure messages clearly, and express myself in a way that feels authentic.

Career goals

I hope to work in education, youth development, or communication-based roles that support students and families. I’m also exploring pathways like school psychology or working for myself.

Ideal way to spend a free night

A cozy night in with good food, a walk around campus or the Ave, or hanging out with friends somewhere low‑key.

High school or secondary school

Sumner High School (Sumner, Washington)

Meeting point

The Statue of George Washington
