What’s one highlight from your first semester of college?

Making my first set of new friends from college was fun!

What do you wish you’d known when you started college?

That community college classes before starting undergrad helps you graduate earlier!

What do you like about advising first and second year students?

Helping new students learn to have a better experience than I did!

What’s your favorite thing about Loyola?

The student population is a lot more diverse than my undergraduate university. I went to a 89% majority population and it’s awesome to see all the different backgrounds and identities around campus.

What’s your favorite thing about Chicago?

The food! I love the different types of food you can get from the different neighborhoods.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

My free time is split between quality time with my fiance, hours of pickleball almost daily, video games, and hanging out with my two Russian Blue cats - Ube and Matcha!
