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

I want to be in a position where I can help other students like me, especially during such an important time. I was so nervous coming to college, so I hope I can help ease the nerves that others might be feeling!

 

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

I would love to be able to crochet or play the guitar or piano!

 

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

I am absolutely determined to travel to Amsterdam one day!

 

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

My favorite thing to do is paint my nails, I find it really relaxing!

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

 I don't think I have a favorite spot, my best memories on campus were always just waling around anywhere with my friends and laughing the entire way

 

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

I will never turn down a good chocolate chip cookie

 

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

Lots of things will be going on and the fomo will be real, but that doesn't mean you can't take some time for yourself and just breathe!
