What are some things that make you unique? I was raised by a single mother alongside seven siblings. I have lived in 6 different states so far including in the South, Pacific, and Midwest.
What is your advice for incoming first-year students? I would encourage students to be their own fierce person. You make a lot of choices in college from what to major in, what student organizations to get involved with, and where to live (be connected on-campus!). Students should lean into exploring and empowering their truest self and not compare the journey to someone else.
