My favorite spots around SU: My favorite spot at Shenandoah is the state-of-the-art recording studio.  I have thousands of great memories in there from my time as a student, and it truly is a wonderful room of equipment.

What makes SU special to me: Shenandoah has always been home to me.  As a student, I always felt connected to the people around me, from professors, to students, to staff.  The small size of the institution promotes a more personalized educational experience, and the environment here fosters so much positivity amongst students and staff of all backgrounds.

My advice: Go to the classes and see if you would feel comfortable learning there.  Try the food at the dining hall.  Consider extracurricular activities you might be interested in.

My hobbies: My free time is spent working on my local business and watching my 3 kids grow and thrive in the Winchester community.
