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

I wanted to be a CAST Peer Mentor because I love the CAST office and the message behind it, supporting students through their college careers. College is hard, but you don't have to go through it alone, and that is one of the main reasons I wanted to be a Peer Mentor, so I could help give advice to younger students based on my experiences so far.

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

I would really like to learn how to ride a bike. I never really learned as a kid so I think that would be a fun skill to learn. I also think juggling would be a cool random skill to have.

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

One thing I would love to cross off my bucket list is going to see the ocean. I have lived in a landlocked state my whole life and have never seen the ocean up close, so doing that someday would be a dream.

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

My favorite way to de-stress in busy times is to go for a drive. The destination doesn't really matter, but being behind the wheel and listening to my favorite music helps ease my mind off the stressful times.

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

"Something's Gonna Go Our Way" by The 502's. The song is so good and always puts me in a good mood and reminds me that everything will work out in the end.

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

Somewhere where I could see the ocean! I've only ever seen it from a plane, I want to be able to stick my toes in the water and feel the salty air that everyone talks about! 
Or Alaska so I could hike and take in the views of the mountains and hopefully see some wildlife, like moose!

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

One of my favorite places on campus is the CoJMC. As a journalism major, I have spent a lot of time in Andersen Hall, it is where I met some of the most influential people in my college career who have helped me make connections to professionals in the real world. 
I would say the CAST office is my all-time favorite place on campus though. It has become a home-away-from-home for me, and being an out-of-state student, having a place like the CAST office has made college not so scary.

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

Kettle-cooked salt and vinegar chips! Ugh, I could eat the whole bag in one sitting.

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

I wish I knew that it is okay to not have everything planned out, everything happens for a reason, and you will be fine :)
