What’s one highlight from your first semester of college? |
Being elected as my Residence Hall’s Hall Government Treasurer, which helped me meet a lot of friends within my residence hall, some of which I still talk to, and helped me feel more connected to my campus community. |
|
What do you wish you’d known when you started college? |
It’s okay if you do not have your whole life figured out the moment you start college. I changed my major 4 times and did not know my career path until my senior year. While this caused me a lot of stress in the moment, everything worked out. It’s okay to give yourself time to experience college and figure it out as you go! |
|
What do you like about advising first and second year students? |
Seeing the growth in students from the beginning of their first semester to the end of their second year, especially when students have those “a-ha moments” where they learn something significant about themselves, their future goals, or the people around them. |
|
What’s your favorite thing about Loyola? |
The views of the lake from campus and attending volleyball games! |
|
What’s your favorite thing about Chicago? |
The food scene! Especially during the summer when different neighborhoods host food-themed festivals. |
|
What do you like to do in your spare time? |
Watching reality tv and Formula 1, walking my dog around the city, playing outdoor sports (volleyball and tennis), taking road trips with friends. |
