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

I love to help people and give back, so I wanted to mentor freshman and help them transition into college! I enjoy knowing that I can be someone people can turn to when they need help!

 

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

I would love to learn how to dance, especially traditional ones like ballroom dancing!

 

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

I'm absolutely going to own a corgi the moment I can!

 

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

I love doing face masks, getting cozy, and watching a movie or reading a book to destress!

 

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

"Big Time Rush" by Big Time Rush

 

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

I would like to go to Italy!

 

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

 Kiewit is super new, but I really enjoy it there! There are so many different places to sit and study or hang with friends! All the windows bring in natural sunlight, which I also love!

 

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

Big, big popcorn fan!!

 

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

It's really difficult to leave your family and friends, but you will adapt!!
