I’m a huge advocate for helping students identify their talents, strengths, and gifts and helping them see how that can connect to what they do want in life and how they want to contribute to the world around them. There are so many possibilities out there and I want our students to take advantage of them and realize they have something unique and special to offer to any space they may enter.

Don’t rush the moment or process. College is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and at times when I look back, I was rushing to get to the next year or next goal too quickly. I wish I could have taken my time and not rushed myself.
I loved every minute of college but in particular I feel so thankful I had the chance to study abroad in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University. I met so many great friends from different parts of the world that I still keep in touch with to this day. I also got the opportunity to travel to neighboring countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Australia. The experience changed me forever and opened my eyes to the possibilities behind traveling.
I like to spend time with my loved ones, work out, eat good food and travel to fun/relaxing places.
