You just won an all-expenses paid vacation. Where would you go?
I absolutely love amusement parks like Six Flags and theme parks like Disney World—I’d totally travel to Japan and check out Universal Studios Japan (mainly to check out the new Super Nintendo World!).

What is one thing you wish people knew about you?
I’m a 5th Degree Black Belt in TaeKwonDo! I’ve been a martial artist for 13 years, and a martial arts instructor for 5 years!

Top song on your playlist?
Any song by STARSET—if you’re into rock music and/or sci-fi, check them out!

Which animal/reptile/insect would you least like to be locked in a cage with?
I’m not scared of many animals, but I am *deathly* afraid of snakes, so I’d prefer to not wind up being locked in a cage with them!

Sasquatch – real or fake?
I want to believe he’s real??

What is one thing you were really glad you brought when you went to college?
This one is cheesy—but I’m glad I brought along my girlfriend! She’s been my biggest supporter throughout college!

What were you most afraid of when you started college?
Losing touch with all of my high school friends—luckily in the age of social media, it’s been very easy to keep in touch!

What piece of advice would you like to give incoming first-gen students?
I have two crucial pieces of advice! The first is to set a system for your time management—everyone is different, but come up with a plan to balance school, work, life, etc. The second is to not forget about taking time for yourself and regularly do activities/hobbies that you enjoy! It’s impossible to take care of school work when you haven’t been taking care of yourself!
