What’s one piece of advice you wish you had when you were an undergraduate student?
You don’t need to have your whole life figured out and changing direction doesn’t mean you failed. Ask for help sooner, trust your instincts more, and don’t stay in environments that shrink you just because they’re familiar. Your worth is not measured by productivity, perfection, or how much you can endure.

Define fun and what does that look like to you?
Fun looks like being around my favorite people and laughing until my face and stomach hurt. It also looks like solo traveling to a new place or country—exploring somewhere new, meeting locals, and immersing myself in a culture different from my own.
