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

Being a CAST Peer Mentor lets me directly influence campus culture for the positive. Everyone on campus would benefit from freshmen who are prepared, informed, and making good choices.

 

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

I would want to have the ability to do gymnastics instantly. The flexibility needed to do tricks would be excellent. In addition, who doesn't want to be able to do a backflip?

 

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

One day, I hope to finish writing a book. I want to have a little nonfiction piece of writing to be in many libraries.

 

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

My favorite way to de-stress is by shopping or booking spontaneous tattoo appointments.

 

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

My theme song would be "Secret Life" by Bleachers, featuring Lana Del Rey. This is because I'm so apologetically ready to build a life for myself.

 

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

I would want to go to Switzerland. The Alps are too pretty to see before dying.

 

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

Kiewit is my favorite place on campus. Even though I am not an engineering major, I love studying here with friends for hours upon hours.

 

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

Any assortment of a charcuterie board is absolutely amazing. You can not go wrong with crackers, cheese, deli meat, and a sweet treat.

 

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

There is no such thing as bringing too much stuff from home. You will use every little gadget and tool, making everything feel like home.
