My favorite spots around SU: My favorite spot on campus is Ohrstrom-Bryant Theatre. I love the energy of a performance space, and the theater is where so many art forms come together and coexist. Off campus, I love visiting National and State Parks – there are so many places in the area to enjoy nature.

What makes SU special to me: SU has always been so welcoming and accepting of everyone, regardless of a person’s ethnicity, religious beliefs, or identity. Both staff and students alike are always so welcoming and friendly. Campus truly feels like a home away from home.

My advice: Trust in the work that you’ve done to get here. Believe that regardless of competition, you are presenting the best version of yourself, and that is enough. And, don’t be afraid to ask questions! Applying for colleges can be wild and confusing, but staff members are there to provide answers and help you feel secure in your choice.

Fun fact: I have three cats that I love dearly (Cherubino, Ronald, and Soup) and a Ball Python as well (Omelet). I enjoy creating digital art in my free time and have a love for jewelry as well.
