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! |
