What’s one highlight from your first semester of college? The feeling of returning to in-person classes after the COVID-19 pandemic was one of the best feelings ever. I graduated from high-school during the pandemic, so it was a very odd and unique experience. However, returning to in-person classes and interacting with students again was the biggest highlight of my first semester!
What do you wish you’d known when you started college? There is never a singular path you can take throughout college. I initially started as a Public Policy major at UIC, and now I am at LUC pursuing a master's in data science! If I had known this, I would have explored more options instead of focusing on my declared major for my first two years.
What’s your favorite thing about Loyola? I love the location of the university! Walking to class while feeling the lake breeze is the best feeling ever! This is especially true when midterms and finals come up!
What’s your favorite thing about Chicago? The coffee places in Chicago are AMAZING! I have travelled a good amount across the United States, and one thing I learned: no city has come close to the coffees in Chicago. I have yet to try an iced coffee than an Iced Lucky Charms Latte :)
What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to spend time with friends and family. I usually have game nights with friends, or travel to different locations around Illinois with my family. Either way, It is always a blast!
