Of all the jobs you could have on campus, what made you want to be a Peer Mentor?

The CAST Office (and my Peer Mentors) helped me greatly my freshman year in navigating college, and I wanted to give back the help that I had to incoming students. And, the CAST Office is such a positive working environment! :)

 

If you could learn any skill or craft instantly, what would it be?

Definitely Calculus (because I am STRUGGLING in my calc classes, haha!)

 

What’s one thing on your bucket list you know you’ll cross off some day?V

isiting all 64 US National Parks (already have 14 crossed-off!)

 

What's your favorite way to de-stress or relax during busy times?

I enjoy playing a low-stress video game, with my dog, Astro, laying on my lap (he's quite the gamer)

 

If your life had a soundtrack, what is your theme song?

"Life Is A Highway" by The Rascal Flatts

 

You just won an all-expenses paid vacation. Where would you go?

I'm a huge amusement park and food junkie--so I'd go to Orlando, Florida to spend like a whole week in Universal Studios! There's so much to do there, super fun rides, and lots of great food!

 

What’s your favorite place on campus—and why?

 Jordan's Office at CAST! It's relaxing, Jordan always has mints, and there's SO many giraffes! (and, Jordan gives great advice, which is always appreciated)

 

What's your go-to comfort food or guilty pleasure snack?

Ice Cream!

 

What's one thing you wish you had known before starting college?

Getting involved on campus is the BIGGEST way to get to know to other students, and feel grounded on campus. As a natural introvert, getting involved was difficult for me, but it greatly expanded my social circles!
