Describe your college experience

My transition to college felt overwhelming at first, I switched majors right before starting, from pre-med to Management Information Systems, and had to figure everything out from scratch. But I leaned hard into asking for help and reaching out to people, mentors, professors, upperclassmen, and it completely changed my experience. I've built real relationships, joined incredible organizations, and found genuine direction I didn't expect to find so quickly.

Tip for future students

Don't be afraid to ask for help, whether that's going to office hours, reaching out to upperclassmen, or emailing someone you admire. Almost everyone is more willing to help than you'd expect, you just have to ask.

Favorite class

MIST 2090, Dr. Jetha is an incredible professor and information systems is an incredible class!

Career goals

I'm interested in building mentorship-focused organizations and eventually launching my own ventures at the intersection of entrepreneurship, community-building, and technology.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Grabbing boba with friends at Bubble Cafe, ringing the bell at the Chapel, or just hanging out at the MLC, simple moments with good company are my favorite way to unwind.

Favorite spot on campus

The MLC (Miller Learning Center) is my favorite spot on campus, so many memories made there already, and so much room for even more ahead.
