What’s one piece of advice you wish you had when you were an undergraduate student?
College is one of the few times in your life when you’re surrounded by opportunities meant just for you—so take advantage of them and don’t be afraid to explore things outside your comfort zone. You’re not just here to earn a degree—you’re here to grow, make connections, and figure out what really excites you. Make the most of it while you’re here.

Define fun and what does that look like to you?
I love getting lost in a good book, spending time with my family, and being outdoors. Whether it’s going for a walk, hiking, or just soaking up the fresh air, I really enjoy taking advantage of the beautiful nature we have around us. It’s about those moments that help me feel grounded and connected—whether it’s with nature, the people I care about, or just having time to myself.
